Rules and Procedures
Flight Procedures
Operating procedures have been established for the Truckee/Tahoe
& Minden areas that, when followed, greatly increase the odds
of a safe and smooth operation. The Soar Truckee Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP's) have been developed over many years and have
stood the test of time. You will be asked to read and sign the
SOPs each year you fly at Truckee. The SOP's are part of the soar
Truckee lease and must be adhered to. Please read them carefully,
and ask questions if you are unclear on any of the procedures.

The Minden and Pyramid wave windows have been established through
negotiation and agreement with the FAA. Under certain conditions
pilots are allowed to deviate from FAR 91.135 (operations in Class
A airspace). It is your responsibility to comply with those conditions
if you fly above FL 180 in the wave windows.
