What we look for at Lookout Mountain Flight Park

Wind direction

WNW (290°) → NNW (340°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

8–18 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

NW radial ramp, Rising Fawn GA. Acceptable dir W to NNW (flylookout). PG ridge min ~7-8, HG ~10-12; soarable 15-18 mph steady. Foot launch wants <5-6 mph; soaring window 15-20. flylookout flags a ~10 mph gust factor as significantly worse than ~3 (illustrative, not a hard limit); spread cap 10 per USHPA H3 differential. 15+ needs launch assist (AWCL); windy NW=ramp suck, rotor behind ridge.
