No site-specific club/USHPA/paraglidingEarth data could be located for an "Avenue S" launch despite multiple targeted searches. Coordinates (34.5305, -118.149, 4518 ft MSL) place this on a north/northeast-facing foothill on the south edge of the Antelope Valley (Mojave Desert) east of Lancaster/Pearblossom, CA. Wind window is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (N, NE octants) plus general ridge-soaring knowledge — treat as a rough estimate only. Ideal arc ~360/0-060 (centered NNE ~030); marginal/cross edges extend to ~315 (NW) and ~090 (E), beyond which it becomes cross-to-rotor. Suggested ideal wind 7-15 mph, max usable base ~18 mph, max gust ~22 mph as conservative desert-foothill defaults. HAZARDS to verify locally: Mojave desert thermals can be strong and turbulent midday — best window is typically morning or late afternoon when cycles are smoother; lee-side rotor if synoptic flow turns S/SW (sea-breeze / prevailing W push over the range); high site elevation means thinner air and faster true groundspeed; remote desert access, no on-site help. Rating/access unknown — confirm USHPA rating requirements, landowner permission, and current conditions with the local club (e.g., Sylmar HGA / Antelope Valley pilots) before flying.
