The Spruce Creek Property Owners Association takes safety seriously and has prepared a very informative ground safety video that illustrates what to expect while living in or visiting Spruce Creek.
It is important that all residents not only become familiar with the safety aspects of living in an airport but also realize their duty to communicate to their guests and tenants about proper procedures at Spruce Creek.
Here is a good example of how situational awareness avoided a possible disaster. The First Officer is a female who was recently hired with extremely low experience. The Captain has failed several check rides. The female tower controller gets confused and doesn't realize what's happening. The only smart guy in the bunch is the U.S. Air Pilot who is waiting for takeoff. Listen to what he decides to do!

The Spruce Creek Fly-in Community is the world's most famous residential airpark. With a 4,000 ft lighted runway and a GPS approach, the private airport at the center of the community (Florida Airport 7FL6) can accommodate anything from a Stearman to a Gulfstream.
Originally a navy airfield during WWII, Spruce Creek evolved into the world's greatest residential fly-in and golf community. Today, almost 5,000 residents, 1,300 homes and 700 hangars share a unique life in this private gated village.
After landing in the median of Interstate 95 in Volusia County, a small plane took off again Tuesday afternoon.
It happened near the U.S. Highway 1 exit in Ormond Beach.Authorities said the emergency landing brought traffic in both directions to a stop for a short time.
During a flight from Ormond Beach to Flagler beach, a cylinder seized up and the engine failed, forcing the landing.
FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said two people were aboard the plane at the time of the landing, an instructor and a student pilot. Initial reports said only the pilot was on board. Neither passenger was injured.
The plane’s owner, Adrian Thompson, was called to the scene to make repairs. It took three hours to repair the single-engine Cessna 150.
Thompson told police he needed 600 feet of highway to get up to speed to take off so troopers ensured he had enough highway space to get off the ground.
"We decided to go ahead and allow him to make repairs, we got the clearance from the FAA to do it," Florida Highway Patrol trooper Wooster Woodward said. "He’ll take off from here. It’ll be much more expeditious to do that. To dismantle the aircraft would have taken over 8 hours and it would have caused a major traffic distraction. This way, we’ll be in and out in less than three."
Collect as many aluminum cans as you can. For example, rather than recycle your cans at home, put them in a trash bag or box and bring them on the 21st. Be resourceful; collect cans at parties or your workplace. Encourage your kids to be creative because there are aluminum cans everywhere. Each pound of aluminum is worth approximately 50 cents.
SPRUCE CREEK - The Spruce Creek Children and Recreation Committee has organized this year's Big Summer Bash event for the children of Spruce Creek to be held on Saturday, June 21 at the Spruce Creek Fly-in children's playground. The event will start at 10:00 am and is scheduled to go on until 1:00 pm.
The event's theme for this year is the Olympics, and activities planned include a variety of games for kids of all ages to compete in. From sac races to egg relays and tug-of-war, to jousting matches and a bungee run. There will also be water games to cool off in two water slides. So bring your swim suits and towels!
As always, hot dogs and refreshments will be available.
The Summer Bash is one of the many children activities organized each year by the Spruce Creek Children's Recreation Committee. The Committee is managed by volunteer residents of the Spruce Creek Fly-in. The mission of the Committee is to provide safe, fun and healthy activities and opportunities for the children and families of the Spruce Creek Fly-in community.
Funding for the activities is provided by the residents of Spruce Creek and donations from local businesses. Other activities held throughout the year include the Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Family Movie Night, and Breakfast with Santa. Additional children's events are organized in conjunction with the famous Spruce Creek festivals: Wings and Wheels, the Annual Bonfire, and the Toy Parade.SOS Campaign
Please bring your aluminum cans and box tops to support the Committee's S.O.S. campaign to help Volusia County Schools.
As quoted by Krista Ghaffarian, Chairman of the Children's and Recreation Committee:
Collect as many Box Top coupons as you can. Look on products you already purchase everyday like cereal boxes and paper products and cut off the Box Top. Keep them in a safe place and bring them on the 21st. Again, be creative; get your neighbors and friends involved. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents for the schools. We all have valuable money for our schools already sitting in our cupboards. Whatever we collect on the 21st will be donated back to the schools. (To see a list of products that contain box tops or for more information on the program go to www.boxtops4education.com).
The prestigious ranking is based on the number of International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement and Cambridge exams schools give compared to their numbers of graduates. This is the fifth year the Spruce Creek school has made the list. By scoring high on those exams, students can earn college credit for courses taken in high school.
