Oscars

Oscars Launch, Savona, BC (Native Reserve Land. Please be respectful) The paragliding launch site, Oscars, boasts a spacious west-facing, gentle slope, mainly comprised of dirt and some grass. Multiple gliders may be set up. The HG launch is situated approximately 100 meters south of Oscars, while multiple lower launches, mainly facing west, southwest, and one east, serve primarily for student training. Access to all launches is possible either on foot, requiring a 1.5 to 2-hour hike to Oscars, or by a 4x4 vehicle, reducing travel time to around 30 minutes. Navigating the road to Oscars involves encountering multiple bifurcation points. Therefore a local guide is recommended. The launch falls under Class E airspace at 2200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL), with the Class E ceiling dropping to 700 AGL immediately east of the launch. Flying Cross-Country (XC) in Class E airspace in Canada necessitates passing the HAGAR exam, accessible at https://www.hpac.ca/pilots/transport-canada-air-regs-hagar/hagar/. The entire site, encompassing launches and Landing Zones (LZs), is situated on native reserve land. The native band generously permits the use of their land for our free flights. Respect towards the band members and their land (roads, parking locations) is essential. Must have HAGAR to fly class E air space Must be a member of OSA (https://flyok.weebly.com/) or WCSC (https://www.westcoastsoaringclub.com). https://www.canadarasp.com/windgrams Kamloops Parabums, https://chat.whatsapp.com/KBARQQHLD1j3QFWM0RMsI0 Altitude 1047m

Resident of Sea to Sky corridor. 2. P3 or P4 HPAC current member with insurance. 3. Attend orientation with member P4 pilot (Rules about flying WB) If you fulfill the criteria, then apply by sending an email to sflycott@gmail.com Allow a month or so for your application to be processed.

People have landed on Cheakamus Lake and other frozen lakes in the Winter Must be Whistler Flying Team member to launch from the ski area property.

Grouse

Grouse mountain ski resort launch. From Highway #1, travel north along Capilano Road/Nancy Greene Way to the end and then take the Gondola to the top 4000' (1200 m) ASL SSW facing launch with the slope on the ski hill. Access is a gondola ride, followed by a ski chair lift to the launch. Grouse is a very restricted site. The resort is privately owned, next to one of the main water reservoirs for the city.

To be accepted as a guest, you have to have an intermediate or advanced rating, HPAC liability insurance, WCSC membership, a reserve, and you have to be a responsible pilot (You will be asked for a contact person who can vouch for you). Once approved as a guest, you can fly Grouse after orientation, but you must always be accompanied by one of the members of the Grouse Mountain Flying Team. The team member will brief you on the site, sign you in, and see you off at launch, etc. Additional information: https://www.westcoastsoaringclub.com/project/grouse/ Must obtain approval as a guest member of the Grouse Mountain Flying Team.
