The launch is on Taconic State Park land under a revocable permit, and the club rents and maintains the required LZ. Current USHPA and Mt. Brace Outdoor Club memberships, the annual club waiver, and a daily online check-in are mandatory. The first pilot checking in must call the park ranger at the published number before flight. P3 is required for unobserved flight; P2 access follows the club's observed process. Arrange a first-visit site introduction and choose either the 15-mile backside drive plus 1 2/3-mile hike or the steep two-mile frontside hike.

SW, W, NW

Official ideal range 250-290 degrees and possible range 230-310 degrees. The SW/NW discovery labels mark the edges only and do not extend beyond 230 or 310.

The current official guide verifies active PG operations but does not publish a launch GPS coordinate. The PGE point is therefore stored only as an approximate launch-area pin. The official club address and map identify the required LZ property at 42.040292,-73.5149307. Because that rented landing field is a required private component, the record is red and authorizationRequired is true. The permit explicitly bans motorized flight.

The stored PGE summit-area point is consistent with the active named site, but the current official club guide does not publish an exact launch coordinate.

Approximate launch-area pin only. Complete membership, waiver, daily check-in, ranger notification, and a local site introduction before using the official hiking route; do not navigate cross-country or choose a launch point from this coordinate alone.
