Welcome to the Hat Creek Pilots Association.  We are the local club and official chapter of the Hat Creek Rim whose intention is to connect pilots, from all over, with the magic of The Rim.  In the last 35 years, The Rim has undergone many changes.  Since the establishment of the HCPA, numerous site improvements have occurred making it one the most easily accessible, and pilot friendly sites in Northern California.  Known for its world class glass-offs, it is a true gem of the North State. It is our mission to continue to not only preserve this site, but to further enhance the free flight community by providing a safe and easily accessible site.

 

 

NEW FOR 2024:   Due to recommendations from USHPA, the Hat Creek Pilots Association will now be implementing a few changes.  We ask that all pilots intending to fly Hat Creek Rim sign the HCPA Chapter Waiver and renew your club Membership annually.

 

 

 

 

All pilots must join HCPA.  Annual membership is a suggested $20 donation and all proceeds go to site maintenance, continued improvements, club sponsored events, and the numerous other costs associated with preserving this amazing site.   For further details  and pilot requirements please click on the site guide above.  Becoming a member is easy, click the drop down menu for the membership for or click here Join HCPA

We also have a Signal and Telegram chat group to connect and communicate flying plans.  We also created a Facebook group which is the home base for pilots to stay up-to-date on club news, connect with other pilots, and of course, share your pics and experiences at Hat Creek Rim.  Feel free to join today and is open to pilots and friends of The Rim.
