What we look for at Lookout Mountain (Glenwood afternoon)

Wind direction

S (180°) → SW (230°)

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

Ideal speed

5–10 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.

RMHPA advanced soaring site (8 mph PG ideal). Sink/rotor behind antennas; radio towers + power lines on summit; long 5:1 glide, no bailout LZs. Afternoon T-storm risk. USHPA+RMHPA membership required.
