Important Notes:
- During spring and summer, when the grass is high, please land at the 'Kather' landing site (NEW!).
- Top landings on Schnaithalde are still prohibited due to dangerous low-level rotors in north winds.
- Vehicles must be parked at the sports field parking lot.
- We maintain a friendly relationship with residents, hunters, and farmers.
Guest Pilots:
Our club is generally open to guest pilots and welcomes new faces! However, the following rules must be strictly adhered to in order to preserve the flying site:
- Guests need a day membership, which costs €5.
- A club member must be present.
- Guest pilots require an introduction by a club member.
- The day membership form can be downloaded from our website.
If you prefer not to be a guest pilot, you are welcome to join our club.
Takeoff:
No takeoff without an introduction!
Wind Conditions:
The best conditions are from the north to northwest. Do not attempt to take off with east winds! Even if a takeoff seems feasible, the east wind can catch you after the gap, causing you to descend rapidly into the forest or experience severe collapses. This applies to all easterly winds.
Current wind data can be accessed online through our Schnaithalde weather station.
