Pig Hill

Pig Hill is an excellent thermal site when conditions are easterly. Weather station: Triggered by 7 short transmissions from a UHF radio on Channel 19. Each transmission should be about 1 second each. 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 0448 591 960.

Takeoff

The launch is accessable by 4WD on a road that leads up the east spur of the ridge from the landing paddock.

Landing

The primarly landing is on the far side of the road.

Flight

XC and flights are common. Glasses off nicely in the afternoon.

Hazards/Comments

Airspace starts at 4500' ASL so there is not much room over launch to get high. Make sure you check the current Visual Terminal chart before flying.
