A Weather Talker can be accessed on UHF Channel 25, Tone Squelch 97.4 (6 clicks) or via phone on 0408 744 791 Spring and Summer see strong thermals with the possibility of major sink cycles A common situation is a westerly wind in the morning and a SE or NE sea breeze reaching Tamborine launch in the early afternoon. Once you are about to launch a Hang glider it is hard to see the wind streamers behind you and it is worthwhile to be assisted by a sensible person who can watch behind you for the onset of tailwind. Be aware of the wind strength and the distance to the bombout areas. Beware the level and degree of the sink cycles. Launch slope is shallower than ideal and is troubled by turbulence from the shelf in front of the launch and from the trees on the sides of the launch. Face landing for Advanced pilots only when there are no public or Hangliders on launch. Refrain from setting up landing approach low over houses near main bombout. The trees on the north side cause turbulence and wind shadow in a northerly wind. Beware of 7500ft height limit. See airspace map.
