List of Off-field Landing Sites

Official list, 28-mar-97

Disclaimer :

The off-field landing sites data and coordinates are for information only and in no way can the organizers or the land-owners be liable in case of accident.

For some areas there is an agreement with the owner, for the others there isn't, thus no guarantee relative to safety of landing may be given.

Some fields are unusable at certain periods of the year (high crops, crops stocked on site, etc.). Prior flying and walking inspections are essential for some zones.

More complete information (officially agreed areas, photographs, precautions, fields information, procedures) will be available on site in a special booklet.

The pilot-in-command is solely responsible for the preparation and the carrying out of the flight. Therefore it is always the pilot's responsibility to choose an appropriate emergency field to make a safe landing.

--------------------------------

Although this HTML file and data converted into other GPS formats are supposed to be as accurate as possible, each competitor has to check what actually is in his flight recorder or flight computer.

Notes :

PA landing sites are not considered as airfields for bonus in distance tasks, except :
30 PA      SEYNE
31 PA      LA MOTTE DU CAIRE
34 PA      AIX EN DIOIS
35 PA      AUBENASSON .

When there are a landing site and a turning point with the same name,
CH (or DI, PA, ZA) has been set at beginning of Code.

Beware that not all points with Code beginning by CH or DI are landing sites,
some are only turning points in unlandable area !

Fields from older Alpes du Sud or Alpes du Nord booklets are to be deleted if not in this list,
as they are no longer usable or may be dangerous.

See also the complete list of airfields in competition area and official turnpoints.


Thanks to John Leibacher, who has created and maintains a Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange, you can find these turnpoints and off-fields areas in files of suitable format for almost every GPS unit, logger or flight computer as well as a map and even sunset times !
