Landing Field skill requirements

Whitwell – Castle LZ

• Hang Gliders and Paragliders.
• Minimum rating of TTT H3 Intermediate or TTT P3 Intermediate.
• Minimum rating of TTT P2 during P2 conditions.
  • Recommend confirmation of conditions with TTT P3 or above.

Castles LZ is our main LZ. The field is huge, however there is a small pond in the center right and much of the field can be damp or wet.The best place to land is at the east end close to the road (and parking)

Whitwell – Hudson LZ

• Hang Gliders and Paragliders.
• Minimum rating of TTT H3 Intermediate or TTT P3 Intermediate.

Hudson LZ is another option just south of Castles.Again, the longest part of the field tends to be wet and the best area is on the eastern end of the LZ, closest to the road.

Whitwell – First Baptist Church LZ

• Hang Gliders and Paragliders.
• Minimum rating of TTT H3 Intermediate or TTT P3 Intermediate.

Church LZ – for more advanced pilots. It is a a 6.3:1  glide out to this field and is smaller than the others. Use the length of the field for landing but keep in mind there are fences along the eastern and southern ends of the LZ.
