Local guidance
Hazards and cautions
- Airspace: Class D, 3000 MSL.
- Most PSA sites are valley sites — the club warns conditions can get dangerously rough in strong winds or when the wind is off the slope, and most sites can be wave-affected. If in doubt, seek advice from experienced local pilots or a club coach.
