comments | Elevation: Launch: Various, from 1000m to 2000m. Direction of Launch: Mostly West, with some slight variations to the NW or SW Site Suitable For: Novice to Advanced Location: Just south of the town of Golden Type of Site: Mountain Type of Flying: Thermal Cross Country Potential: Excellent, flights can be made North/South along the Columbia River valley. Areas NOT to land: check mt7.ca for updates. For Google Earth users: All waypoints related to Golden (launches, LZ's, places not to land): http://www.flygolden.ca/google_earth_image.htm Three Class E Controlled Airspace Airways near Spillimacheen, Radium and Canal Flats have variable bases. Excellent XC site on an 8000'+ Range. Paved road retrieval. Nice valley with many other attractions. Strong thermal site in mid-day. SIV recommended and throw reserve if low! Carry long rope to get off tree. Mobile phone/radios (GMRS are good now) are recommended. Trees are tall in the west! Think ahead and carry a rope long enough - at least 30 m (100') - to come down a tree yourself. A rescue crew may take a while to arrive even if they are alerted. One solution: http://stucaruk.mystarband.net/TowMeUp%20Website/Tree%20Self%20Rescue%20Kit.html Emergencies: Phone 911 and ask for the Golden RCMP (also at 250-344-2221) - it is manned 24 hours a day - they will coordinate all search & rescue (SAR) operations. Ambulance service: 250-344-6226. Websites: Mt 7: http://mt7.ca/ fb: https://www.facebook.com/mt7air/ Fly Golden: http://www.flygolden.ca BCHPA: http://www.bchpa.org/sites/columbia.htm |
