Hunter LZ (Hunter Ranch): 42.2471, -123.026 (42°14’49” N, 123°1’33” W); Elevation: 1650 ft. (503 m.); GR: 4.0 from both launches. || Longsword LZ (Longsword Vineyard): 42.2328, -123.0553 (42°13’57.88″N, 123° 3’18.93″W); Elevation: 1460 ft. (445 m.); GR: 6.0 from top launch. || The Hunter Ranch owners have allowed gliders to land in their cow pasture for the past 30 years, all they ask is that we follow a few simple rules: • Only current RVHPA members are granted permission to use the Hunter LZ • Be sure to land only in the currently designated field (which changes from time to time–be sure to have the latest info). • Observe all Woodrat flying site rules & USHPA regulations. • No smoking & no alcohol on the LZ. • No dogs on the LZ. • No littering. Please pick up any litter you see. • No kiting, practicing, or instruction in the LZ. • PG: Please deflate your wing immediately after landing and carry it to the designated fold-up area. • HG: Please immediately after landing carry your glider to the designated fold-up area. • Enter and exit the LZ at the access gate in the lower NW corner of the main field. • Pack up quickly, leave the field, and do not loiter on the Hunter Ranch, parking area, or Bishop Creek Road. • Keep all gates closed and latched at ALL times. • No vehicles inside any gated area or in the LZ field. • Avoid walking by or lingering at the cattle chute between the main field and the feed lot. • No acro above or near the LZ. • No powered aircraft within earshot of the LZ. • “Speed” or “mini” wings are not permitted to use the Hunter LZ due to concerns on their glide ratio relative to a safe glide from launch to the landing area. Not following the above rules could result in loss of this landing zone.
