FLYSITES

- Anarchist (Osoyoos)

DESCRIPTION

Elevation LZ: 910' asl GPS: N 49°02'34' W 119°26'35.00' Contact a local pilot before going up to check out landing possibilities particularly the beach LZ on Reserve Property. During summer months, overflow RV Parking can eliminate any possibility of landing at this beach. Alternate beaches during peak tourist season must then be used. Example: Hike out beaches north of the LZ. Please do not do anything that would jeopardize our efforts to secure this site. A Landowner WAIVER has become required. This site is a hyper sensitive landing site area. LZ's have been secured and lost repeatedly for decades. Pilots can land on the hay field just before the switch back on Hwy 6 heading east out of Osoyoos. Pilots also land on the Osoyoos Beach at the south end of the lake during off season / low use periods. - check the beach first. Cement walls for lawn areas now barricade parts of the beach. Alt LZ for XC flights is the Oliver Airport. HG & PG should be well aware of this and be alert and watchful for Aircraft. Below 2000' stay on the West side of the Runway DO NOT cross to the East side of the Runway. Hang gliders and Paragliders set up on the west side of the airport and land on the grass strip South of the airport office. Planes set up on the East side of the airport and land on the runway. OBSERVE THESE RULES so HG & PG may continue in this already sensitive area. Landing Road Name and Direction: March 7th 2012 - Peter Rasumussen has negotiated with the Osoyoos Indian Band http://oibdc.ca/ to secure permission to land here once again. In fact they very much are looking forward to the flying traffic as they are able to see the value in it as a tourist attraction for their resort winery and golf courses.
