About This Spot

Site Rating:
PG: P.G.2
HG: Intermediate

Takeoff is at 1,050ft ASL, 800ft above the landing paddock.

Particular care should be taken to ensure all gates are closed as the farmer has concerns as to his stock being released into the Department of Conservation reserve and ferral goats from the reserve getting into his property. The availability of the landing paddock should be checked around lambing and haymaking times. Hay paddocks are usually shut off from stock from Nov through to Jan.

Takeoff altitude: 301m

Known Hazards

Located in TMA C, flight ceiling immediately above launch is 3,500ft ASL, rising to 4,500ft as soon as you cross Woodcocks Rd, heading in a north or north easterly direction. Heading south across the valley takes you into North Shore airfield training space with a continued flight ceiling of 3,500ft. Every time this site is flown both North Shore airfield and Kaipara Flats airfield should be advised of your presence. As Kaipara Flats airfield is located directly north of this site (usually immediately downwind) and this airfield is used as a parachute drop zone, there is a no flying restriction within a 3 nautical mile radius of the airfield. This restriction can be reduced on occasions if the airfield is not being used by obtaining their express consent to cut through the south eastern sector, no closer that 2 nautical miles from the airfield.

No hazard reports. This spot appears to be clear!
