About CASA
Capital Area Soaring Association (CASA) is a premier AMA sanctioned radio-controlled airplane club (#1860) in the Washington DC/ Northern Virginia/ Maryland region. Our members share a passion for all disciplines of RC soaring—including thermal duration, slope soaring, electric powered sailplanes, and scale soaring.
Whether you are an experienced competition pilot or looking to learn how to read thermals, slope soar or pilot your first RC sailplane, CASA offers a welcoming environment and dedicated flying sites.
CASA Flying Sites
CASA Flying Sites
CASA operates two dedicated flying sites with year-round flying: a slope soaring location in Jefferson, Maryland, and a thermal flying site in Beallsville, Maryland. Both sites are located on private property, and access is granted through the generosity and permission of the property owners.
While flying at a CASA site, pilots must hold an active CASA member or be an invited, accompanied guest. All pilots must maintain a current AMA membership and comply with FAA registration and flight requirements. CASA members and guests are required to adhere to all CASA and AMA site rules.
