Access notes
Palmetto PPG is a current Charleston-based powered-paragliding school and pilot-community operator offering certified foot- and wheel-launch instruction, PPG ratings, and tandem discovery flights. Public sources do not disclose its current operating field, gate, launch line, LZ, parking, or independent-pilot access. Contact and book through Palmetto PPG for the exact current lawful non-airport field, contract, waiver, schedule, proficiency requirements, and briefing. The displayed point is not a field or business address.
Site rules
  • Contact Palmetto PPG and obtain the exact current non-airport field, scheduled session, contract or waiver, and instructor or local-pilot briefing before arrival.
  • Do not navigate to or launch from the generalized marker, any published office address, Folly Beach, a public beach, an open-looking farm, a park, or a nearby parcel.
  • Do not use DYB Summerville, CHS Charleston AFB/International, JZI Charleston Executive, 6J2 St George, 7S1 7 Oaks Flight Park, any airport, airfield, airstrip, heliport, balloonport, gliderport, ultralight facility, or airport-dependent launch/LZ.
  • If the operator supplies private property, obtain explicit current owner authorization and treat the exact site as a red private-field operation.
  • Re-screen the exact field against all current FAA facilities, Restricted/Prohibited airspace, controlled airspace, NOTAMs, TFRs, military activity, local rules, obstacles, people, livestock, surface condition, and weather before flight.
  • Follow the operator's current launch, landing, traffic, radio, motor, noise, neighbor, equipment, skill, wheel/foot-launch, student, spectator, and emergency procedures.
Direction notes
The operator assigns launch and landing direction from the exact field, obstacles, foot/wheel configuration, and current wind; no public direction is inferred.
Safety notes
  • The public source gives no exact field dimensions, surface, launch direction, obstacle survey, wind limits, engine-out options, landing target, or emergency plan.
  • The Charleston region contains dense civil and military facilities and controlled airspace. The exact field may require airspace authorization or may be unusable even though the displayed generalized point clears the fixed facility and R/P gates.
  • Lowcountry conditions can include sea-breeze shifts, gusts, thunderstorms, heavy rain, heat, humidity, fog, coastal water exposure, soft or wet ground, trees, wires, roads, homes, and limited engine-out options.
  • South Carolina prohibits operating or landing aircraft on beaches unless the Aeronautics Commission designates the area; the operator's Folly Beach service listing is not launch authorization.
Additional notes
Included under the operator/club-contract general-area rule because a current South Carolina school, actual powered-flight curriculum, ratings path, tandem activity, and community are documented. No unpowered-PG use is inferred, and no office, beach, airport, or guessed field is represented as the launch.
Map pin (general area)
Deliberately generalized Charleston-Summerville-area marker selected away from current FAA facility buffers. It is not a launch, field, office, farm, entrance, parking point, access road, or LZ.
Navigation warning
General Palmetto PPG operating-area pin only. Do not navigate to this point or choose nearby land. Contact the operator for the current lawful non-airport field, then screen that exact location before use.
