MEMO
Landing
If there’s breeze:
Land facing the lake, left-hand U approach.
Do not fly over the campsite!
If high: blue arrow
Make good use of the entire width of the field to make 8s between the camping corner and the nature reserve corner (not S-turns).
If low (at trees height) orange arrow:
Turn immediately to face the wind.
Slowly turn, keeping some brake on your outside hands.
If south wind
8 approach and land back to the lake (yellow arrow)
If strong wind
Even with a lot of height do not go to the far end of the field. Keep a safety margin.
It’s possible to brake to manage your ground glide ratio and perform a precision landing.
