No site-specific data found for "Anderson Flat" in any authoritative source (USHPA/club guides, paraglidingEarth, XContest, siteguide.app, Sierra Hang Gliding, Mother Lode Sky Riders, pilot forums). Coordinates (37.7618, -119.919, 5381 ft MSL) place it on the southern edge of Yosemite NP near Wawona/Badger Pass in the Sierra Nevada foothills/mid-elevation. Wind window inferred solely from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (works in SE/S/SW octants): ideal arc ~135-225 deg (SE through S to SW), with marginal/cross edges out to ~112 deg and ~248 deg. Speed ranges are generic mid-altitude mountain-launch defaults, not site-verified. CAUTION: paragliding is prohibited within Yosemite NP boundaries and hang gliding there is permit-restricted to Glacier Point via the Yosemite Hang Gliding Association; verify legal launch access, land ownership, and current site status before flying. Thermic/strong-wind potential and lee-side rotor risk likely given Sierra terrain and elevation; best window typically calm-to-light morning or stable evening glass-off. Treat all figures as rough placeholders pending a local club site guide.
