Situation : West coast - St LEU bay
GPS : WGS84 S -21.15094 - E 55.34269
Altitude : 1 400 m ASL
Access
: This site is
situated above La Chaloupe village. Take the road to Colimaçons and keep
going towards La Chaloupe. Once at the village, take Vaudeville road on the
left. The site is about 4 km, on the right just by the road, look for a small
wind sock. If you reach a concrete road, it means you went past the 1400, but
you are now heading towards for the 1500...
Flight plan : Flight starts over La Chaloupe village, then, either leave straight on towards the sea, or hang up the 800 site by flying along the relief. Numerous cross possibilities.
Aerology
:
The cloud cover may be very fast with ceiling between 900m and
1200m : Take off early, before any clouds form to avoid any surprise.
The risks are the same as for Colimaçon site : everything is quiet on
the takeoff, but there can be a lot wind on the beach. Please, always
watch carefully the sea before taking off to make sure there is no strong wind
at touch down. A look at the weather report, internet or other, is an additional
safety measure...
Landing : On Ferme Corail landing ground as for 800 and 1 500 takeoffs, after a magnificent flight over the lagoon.
