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. Prefer low gust spread (~3 mph). 15+ needs launch assist (AWCL); windy NW=ramp suck, rotor behind ridge.
