| takeoff | Site Rating: PG: P.G.2 HG: Novice Takeoff height is 700ft ASL and 400ft above the landing paddock. |
|---|---|
| landing | |
| weather | Be careful of scratching low down amongst the spines if the wind is very cross. There is a good top landing in the paddock to the left of takeoff however do not go behind the crest on the top landing as this can be expensive in aluminium and pride. Although there are a number of possible landing paddocks take care to thoroughly scrutinise these on foot beforehand as some have little streams and gullies running through them plus a few bulls! If the wind is off to the east - southeast landing can be turbulent. |
| rules | This site is located within TMA C with a flight ceiling of 4,500 ft ASL. Kaipara flats air field almost directly in front to the North East is a parachute drop zone with a 3 nautical mile no flying restriction. Both Kaipara flats and North Shore air fields need to be advised of your presence here prior to flying. If you expect to go cross country heading in a south westerly i.e. anything on the southern side of Woodcock Rd linking through to Araparera remember the flight ceiling is 3,500 ft ASL. |
| access | Located West of Warkworth you reach the site by driving North along State Highway 1 to Warkworth. As you enter the township of Warkworth take the first turn left (Woodcocks Rd) and follow this road for 10km to a railway crossing. Continue up the hill for about 1.5km until you reach the top at a sharp right hand bend with a pull over area and gate to a pine forest on the left. On the right there is a clay dry weather only track leading to the takeoff. Go through 2 more gates up to the trig and then you are in the launch area. |
