Lake George (Geary's Gap)

Lake George is an excellent inland soaring site.

Weather station: Triggered by 3 short transmissions from a UHF radio on Channel 19. Each transmission should be about 1 second. To minimise unwanted transmissions some safeguards have been incorporated into the system. If you fail to trigger it wait at least 10 seconds before trying again. The information is available via mobile phone on 0447 691 805.

Takeoff

Launch is accessable by 2WD. It is just to the north of Geary's Gap where the highway heads down to the lake.

Landing

Anywhere on the lake.

Flight

Generally most pilots turn left immediatly after launch. It is not too high and it is pretty easy to bomb out.

Hazards/Comments

Powerlines to the right of launch, and then again near the first rest stop about 3 km to the North of launch.

Airspace starts at 3500ft/1060m ASL so there is not much room over launch to get high. Make sure you check the current Visual Terminal chart before flying. Once you push north past the first rest stop airspace goes up to 5500ft (1670m) ASL. If you push south over the highway towards Bungendore then airspace goes up to 4500ft (1370m) ASL.
