Site briefing
Planning information for Sartfield
Take-off
Take off on the concrete ramp that drops down to the beach or on the beach below and ground handle up.
The concrete ramp provides a fairly compact take off area so depending on conditions on the day you may be better off laying out on the beach and ground handling up.
Despite its lack of size, it is free of ferns and bracken which makes launching much easier.
Access and parking
Park next to the waste water treatment works near the beach.
Local guidance
Hazards and cautions
This site is near to Jurby and takes the same wind direction but does not have any sand dunes out front to cause rotor.
Forecasts are planning aids, not safety clearance. Check current observations, official airspace and NOTAM information, local rules and your own experience before every flight.
