No published club/USHPA site guide or paraglidingEarth wind-speed data found for this private/informal Many Feathers Paragliding launch ("Meat collection launch") in NW Montana (Lincoln County, Eureka/Yaak area, ~5627 ft MSL). Wind window is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation octants (N, S, SW, W, NW), which indicate a launch facing broadly W through NW. Ideal arc centered W-NW (270-320 deg, wind FROM). Marginal/cross arc spans SW-W-NW-N (225-360); a separate isolated S workable octant (~160-200) exists per the hint but is likely a secondary/alternate launch aspect, not the main one. Speed estimates are generic mountain-launch PG figures: ideal 5-12 mph, max base ~15 mph, max gust ~18 mph, lower tolerance for high-altitude thin-air launch. HAZARDS/NOTES: mountainous, forested NW Montana terrain prone to rotor and mechanical turbulence on the lee side; classic mountain thermic/valley-wind cycle, so smoothest air is typically early morning (sled runs) and late afternoon/evening glass-off, with midday thermals stronger. High DA at 5600+ ft means faster effective launch/landing speeds. This is a school/private site run by Many Feathers Paragliding (the only APPI-5 / USHPA instructor operation in the area) — treat as access-controlled; fly only with local/school guidance. Verify current conditions and obtain site briefing before flying. P2+ recommended given terrain.
