**Altitude Reminder**: The maximum altitude at Higgs is 5,000ft. All high-power flights must have the expected altitude clearly written on the flight card. For flights nearing the 5,000ft limit, supporting simulation data may be required, so please come prepared.
**University Team Flights**: All university team flights need to fill out the special projects form and include simulation data no later than the Wednesday before a launch.
**Certification Flights**: Anyone wishing to perform an L1, Jr L1, or L2 certification flight must complete the certification form no later than the Wednesday evening prior to launch weekend.
We have been experiencing a high volume of certification flights. We will do our best to accommodate all requests but appreciate your patience and flexibility during this busy time. In some cases, it may be necessary to defer a flight to another day.
