Full Description
Fish Canyon, located at 3870 Encanto Parkway, Azuza, California, is SWSA's primary and only flying site. The site accommodates competition and fun fly thermal duration soaring as well as small electrics. The Fish Canyon site is located at an old rock quarry. Although the crushed stone surface can be hard on finishes if you miss the carpet, the local lift is almost always good to excellent. Twenty to forty minute thermal flights over the local brush, riverbed, mountain side and rock quarry are not uncommon. SWSA maintains a 7200 sq ft carpeted landing zone for sailplanes and a smaller similar surface for electrics. The sailplane landing area can accommodate up to four precision spot landing zones for thermal duration contests. 

 Flying site rules.
 1. All pilots must be current AMA members.
 2. Only sailplanes and electrics are allowed, no gas power aircraft.
 3. Low flying over the pit area is not permitted.
 4. Carpet-friendly landing aids are required (no skegs that will make holes in the carpet)
 5. Do not drive on the carpeted landing zones.
