Lookout Mountain Flight Park

About

We are a NW facing site with a world famous concrete radial launch ramp. Lookout Mountain has over 20 miles of ridge, overlooking miles of farmland making a great site for ridge and thermal soaring. 'Our landing zone is 2,000 feet by 1,000 feet stretching North to South and provides a large well-groomed landing area for all pilots. Due to these conditions we are a H2 rated site, however challenging conditions on certain days may increase our rating restrictions. All solo pilots must have a current USHPA H2 rating or above and be club members of LMFP. A Club Membership will require you to have an Active Flight Pass with us. LMFP has completed our grassy slope PG launch adjacent to the hang glider ramp. It is rated for P2 Pilots, and this is the ramp we will use for any students who clear on a Paragliding VIP Package with us. The concrete hang glider ramp is for H2 students on a training package with us and may be used by advanced PG pilots, only.
