Klíčové informace
Podmínky
A clearly defined area on the right of the scenic road, well beyond the tar section, with an accurate wind reading facility made possible by iweathar streamers and benches for spectators. Please confine your preparations to the area demarcated by the yellow rocks and adhere to the site rules in order to help us maintain our right to flight on this magnificent site. Wind: S-SE Alt: 180m ASL Airspace Ceiling: 2300m ASL Min 20 fliqhts. Landing rights for school field needs to be arranged with club. SE,S,SSW < 25km/h best. S 20 Km/h BASIC To the left of takeoff, at the end of the first unbroken section of the ridge, sits a white trig beacon. This point can produce some heavy turbulence. Be careful here, stay high or in front of the face. When top landing from the trig beacon direction, be careful of crossing the ridge too low, as the cliff edge produces strong rotor turbulence near the front of the ridge towards the takeoff site. Beware of a prevailing Easterly wind; it wraps deceptively up the takeoff site, but is in fact side-on to the ridge (from the left) and extremely turbulent and can push straight towards the high voltage power lines. Beware South-Westerlies, which can become very turbulent as well.
