Special rules apply when flying near any Airport. If flying a kite within two miles of an airport, FAA regulations prohibit the use of any kite weighing over five pounds, and it is not permitted to fly any kite on line longer than 500 feet in length. Always use extreme caution when flying large kites. It is considered by many to be advisable to Wear gloves when handling large kites. Never leave them unattended.
Winds can change direction and intensity very quickly.
If a kite you plan to fly did not come with safety instructions, make sure you acquire the proper knowledge to safely control the kite. Periodically inspect your kite for broken or split spars and verify that the bridle and flying lines are not excessively frayed or worn. Also, do not leave your kite lines unattended while staked or lying on the ground. You do not want people to trip over your sport kite lines. Fastening yourself to your kite line can lead to painful, serious injuries.
