MAJOR ACCESS WARNING: The published site guide (Transforming Changes / Klamath Falls paragliding) explicitly states the Kingsley Field (LMT) Air Traffic Control Manager has asked paragliders NOT to fly this location due to hazard. Launch sits in a notch between LMT Class D airspace and the very-busy southern keyhole approach to LMT, which lies only ~300 yards to the W of launch. It is effectively impossible to land to the W or SW without violating the busy approach corridor. Flying here endangers the club's working relationship with Kingsley ATC. Treat as effectively closed/discouraged. No published wind-direction or wind-speed figures exist for this site. Wind window below is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (S, SW, W = launch faces roughly SW, ideal ~200-250 met deg wind FROM, marginal/cross at 180-270 edges). Speeds are generic PG mountain-launch estimates (ideal ~6-14 mph, max base ~17, gusts under ~20). High-desert thermals near Klamath Falls (6220 ft MSL launch) can produce strong mid-day cycles and lee/rotor on the back side; evening glass-off typically smoother but airspace conflict persists at any time. Verify access and current status with John Bailey / local Klamath pilots before any attempt.
