When we fly

The field is available to members for flying all the time, but subject to the following conditions (also refer to Club Rules):

Most electric and glider flying is done on Wednesday afternoons, Friday afternoons and Saturday afternoons; on Sunday's electric planes are typically flown in the breaks between the Internal Combustion (IC) flying times (set out below).
Internal Combustion powered flying at Bulleen is controlled by the Manningham City Council Local Laws. Flying of these models is only allowed:
- On Wednesdays:
  - Between: 1:00-2:30pm; 2:45-4:15pm; 4:30-5:30pm; and
  - Only with Club endorsement for Wednesday flying.
- On Sundays:
  - When daylight saving is not in force between: 11:45-1:15pm; 1:30-3:00pm; 3:15-5:30pm.
