Flyable Caution / slim window Not flyable
What we look for at Kagel (Sylmar)
Wind direction
SSE (160°) → SSW (200°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
3–10 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.
SHGA: ideal due S (180), launchable SE-SW. Saddle/flat-slope launch dangerous in light, gusty or cross wind; rotor in cross. ~300 fly days/yr. Needs USHPA+SHGA, P-3 (P-2 w/ sign-off), gate code, 4WD.
