The Plymouth Peaked Cliffs site is currently closed to all flying due to nesting piping plovers. The Massachusetts Environmental Police will enforce this restriction. Do not fly at this site until further notice. Last revised: May 11, 2022. Flight Type: Coastal, ridge soaring Required: Valid current USHPA and NEPHC memberships USHPA Rating Requirement: H3/P3 Flying restrictions: Plover nesting may restrict flying. If unsure, email info@nephc.org to check before flying. Wind direction: ENE (Ideal: 060-080 degrees, OK: 040-90) Wind speed (PG): - 10 mph minimum - 15 mph ideal - 18 mph maximum – do not launch a standard-sized paraglider in wind exceeding 15 mph unless you are certain you have the skills and your glider can penetrate. Mini wing operating limitations at the pilot’s discretion. - +2 mph maximum gusting Wind speed (PG mini-wing): - 14 mph minimum - 18 mph ideal - 20 mph maximum – do not launch a standard-sized paraglider in wind exceeding 20 mph unless you are certain you have the skills and your glider can penetrate. Mini wing operating limitations at the pilot’s discretion. - +2 mph maximum gusting Wind speed (HG): - 10 mph minimum - 15 mph ideal - 20-25 mph maximum – depends on experience and skill of the pilot - +5 mph maximum gusting Launch: Cliff launch, facing ENE. Elevation: 75 ft. (25m) Airspace: There is an airport approximately 2.5 miles away, so there are occasional low-flying aircraft in the area. Hazards: The launch site is right under Yankee MOA areas 1 and 2. The airport hosts a large number of soaring gliders as well. Landing zones: - PG/HG: Beach area near the South staircase. Top-landing at launch is possible for experienced pilots in Paragliders. - Min Req Glide Ratio: 1.7 Vehicle Access: None. Hike to launch and use the trail, not the neighborhood roads. Rules and Regulations: - Never walk or climb on the dunes. - Do not land at the golf course. - Respect the sensitive landowner no-fly zone. - Do not fly over the house directly left (North) of launch, and do not breach the 30ft buffer zone around this property that has been stipulated in an ongoing court case. - When flying to soar the North end, go out over the water to pass that property. In a southerly crosswind, turn early to avoid being blown over the house.

This is a very sensitive site with no-fly zones and houses to avoid to prevent legal action.
