When taking off to the North pilots shall make a right turn as soon as possible to keep their aircraft short of the berm and houses.  When landing from the North pilots must master short bases to avoid flying over the berm and houses. Long high approaches form the North will cause us to loose this field.  If you are not sure of the distance use a spotter until you build your confidence.
