Wellington Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club
PAEROA RANGES SITE NOTICE
Notice from
Rick Hawkeswood.
PRESIDENT WAIKATO HANG GLIDING & PARAGLIDING CLUB
Signs have been erected stating the site rules and instructing that the
gate above the half way paddock MUST be kept locked at all times.
The site rules sign is located at the first gate to the farmer’s property,
the second sign will be located at the locked gate.
A new, Marine Rated combination lock has been purchased and will be put on the gate chain. There will be a new combination on the lock, you will need to ring one of the Site Contacts below to gain the new combination.
A log book is to be filled out by all pilots using the site every day. This is situated at the first gate to the farm property, close to the site rules sign. It is housed in a Green Letter box affixed to the side of the gate post. The required info is, Date, Name, Vehicle Rego, Club, and Time Out. EVERYONE needs to fill this out every day.
4WD Vehicles are mandatory. No 2WD vehicles, Front or Rear drive only are not permitted. There can be no exceptions.
Land owner permission is required before you turn up to fly as there are locked farm gates. Ring one of the Site Contacts below to find out the Site Protocol.
This is probably the best site in the North Island. Not unlike any other site in the country, our flying code of practice is to ring a Local Pilot Before flying another
club’s site, every time. This is so any current special site
requirements or restrictions can be communicated.
