Safety notes
  • Strong conditions with thermals in between 5 to 10 m/s, and higher air routes from 5,100 to 10,000 ft.
  • CBVL publishes site-specific drawbacks/hazards; review the linked federation page before launch.
Additional notes
Dirt ramp: quite wide, but can be tricky to launch if wind is not straight-in. Strong conditions with thermals in between 5 to 10 m/s, and higher air routes from 5,100 to 10,000 ft. Great for XC flights, due to the many landing options and large amount of roads for pilot pick-up. Windy take-off place requiring some technique and patience Different bail-out LZ's in front of launch, with an option of landing in the city.
