  • CUASA and USHPA membership required
  • Local pilot knowledge required
  • Do not use the farm LZ when crops are present
Launch directions
SE, S, SW, W, E
Direction notes
South ideal 160-220; East current guide gives 45-135 ideal/60-120 acceptable; West numeric text is internally inconsistent and must be verified with CUASA.
Safety notes
  • Short nil-wind launch runway
  • Morning site becomes thermic as day heats
  • Fence, farming equipment and sprinklers in LZ
  • Published West direction text contains an internal typo; confirm locally
Additional notes
One general-area row preserves three current faces without fabricated points. The private agricultural LZ makes the operation red.
Map pin (general area)
Current CUASA guide describes South, West and East faces but publishes no separate text coordinates; the official event waypoint is retained as one conservative summit-area pin.
Navigation warning
This is not a face-specific takeoff point. Obtain the required local knowledge and use the current CUASA map; the farm LZ is usable only when crop conditions allow.
