Access notes
SkyBrothers states that most summer tandem paragliding flights occur near Glencoe and use a truck-mounted winch for flights to about 2,500 feet. The exact field is intentionally unpublished. Book with SkyBrothers, complete its waiver, and obtain the current lawful non-airport field, land access, meeting point, parking, tow, and weather instructions. This generalized point southwest of Glencoe is not a field or entrance.
Site rules
- Use only through SkyBrothers' booked, waived, and currently authorized summer tow operation.
- Do not navigate to, enter, or launch from the generalized point; obtain the exact field and land-access route from the operator.
- Reject any current field that is an airport, airfield, airstrip, airport-dependent LZ, or within 3.2 km of any FAA facility.
- Follow the tow director's launch, landing, passenger, line, vehicle, weather, and field-use procedures.
- Respect crops, livestock, residents, roads, bystanders, and the landholder's parking/retrieve limits.
Direction notes
No exact field or launch direction is published; the operator assigns the field and tow line for current conditions.
Safety notes
- The operator publishes no exact field, direction, dimensions, surface, obstacle map, wind limits, landing-zone description, or emergency procedure.
- Truck-winch operations involve line tension, tow vehicle movement, weak-link/release procedures, traffic control, and clear launch/landing corridors.
- The Glencoe city-center point is inside a hospital-heliport buffer, so the stored marker was deliberately generalized southwest; the operator's actual field still requires a fresh FAA screen.
Additional notes
Current operator evidence supports a summer PG tow locality. PPG training is offered elsewhere by SkyBrothers, but PPG use at this Glencoe locality is not stated and is not inferred.
Map pin (general area)
Deliberately generalized southwest-Glencoe locality point selected outside all current FAA facility buffers; it is not a launch or land parcel.
Navigation warning
General operator-area pin only. Book with SkyBrothers and obtain the exact current non-airport tow field and access instructions; do not use this coordinate for navigation.
