Planning information for Laucha
Landing
no problems if you blunder, landing field is just below and lots of extra areas for inexperienced pilots.
Access and parking
from Lauch follow the signs to the airport; as you turn into the access road, just follow it through: turn left, then turn right at the restaurant, hen follow the gravel road for about 500m - you will see the takeoff to the left.
Local weather notes
winds can be a lot stronger than predicted on the net - this was a record site for 24h constant sailplane flying
Flight rules
watch out for the sailplanes and motorized aircrafts - do not cross into the airstrip and extension east of takeoff (only 50m away). when thermalling up keep in mind that you are very close to Leipzig restricted area (starts a few km north of Laucha) - you will need to detour it if you decide to go with the wind
