Flying Site Waivers
All regional flying sites require the
pilot to read and sign waivers, for your
protection as well as the site property
owners. Never fly a site without
signing and submitting the proper waiver
first! This is critical to maintaining our
sites and good relations with landowners.
Please contact the appropriate club members
if you want to fly a site. For details and
additional pilot contacts, you may want to
buy a
Mid-Atlantic site guide.
Many of our sites are shared with the
Capital Hang Gliding & Paragliding
Association. Check their website for
more information.
All pilots flying
Mountaineer sites
must be
current USHPA members.
Mountaineer Club Sites
*Club membership is
required to fly High Point and is required
after the first flight at Zirks or
Fairgrounds.
Fairgrounds
High Point
Zirks
The Mountaineer waiver is
identical for all three
Cumberland-area sites other than the
names of the landowners. Prior to
flying any of these sites, the
appropriate waiver/s must be
properly completed and submitted to
a MHGA club officer, in-person, so a
detailed pilot briefing/orientation
can be provided due to the sensitive
nature of these flying sites.
Daedalus Club Sites
Avonmore (Launch)
Avonmore (Right-of-Way)
Avonmore (LZ)
Templeton
Note that the Templeton and Avonmore waivers
must be notarized. Once completed,
contact a member of the
Daedalus Hang Gliding Club
to get them
to the appropriate person.
Capital Hang Gliding & Paragliding
Association/
Maryland Hang Gliding Association Sites
The Pulpit
Fisher Road
Both of these waivers can be sent to
Hugh McElrah, VP/Treasurer of the
Capitol Hang Gliding and Paragliding
Association.
Jack's Mountain
As of January 2003 this waiver's status is
unclear. We have yet to determine if any
particular club has overall responsibility
for Jack's Mountain, and needs to have these
waivers on file. If you happen to know,
please contact CHGPA at

High Rock - This is a sensitive site as
it is located in a restricted area. For more
information, follow the link to the CHGPA
site information page.
Hyner Club Sites
Hyner View
(See the waiver for a mailing address.)
Other Pennsylvania Sites
Sacramento (Launch)
Sacramento (LZ)
Elizabethville
(Waivers sent directly to landowners---see
waivers for addresses.)
Shenandoah National Park Sites
Dickey's Ridge
Hogback
Shenandoah sites require 2 forms to be
submitted to the park. A
Liability Release, and The
Special Use Permit Application which
requires details about the LZs for the SNP
sites. Just write "ON FILE" in large letters
across the three areas where this
information is requested. You must send the
release, the SUP application, a photocopy of
your USHGA membership card, and your check
to the address listed at the bottom of the
permit application. After processing, the
National Park Service will send you two
copies of your permit; you must then sign
and return one of those copies. The
Shenandoah sites are fairly technical (both
the launches and the LZs). Do not fly
them without the guidance of a pilot who
knows them well.
