Source: http://www.doksinet Rules • Please pay attention to where other pilots are around you at all time. Be sure to know the simple rule: when two pilots approach from different directions, turn right! So if you have the dune on your left-hand side you must give way by flying away from the dune. You must give way in good time and keep ample distance in order to avoid collapses on the shadowed glider. • Always use a helmet • Always bring your pilot license and proof of insurance. di i l g ra Have a good time flying in Løkken DHPU The Danish Association for Hang gliding & Paragliding www.dhpudk and Pa n n gi en L k øk - Safety - Rules - Where to fly PG-nord Paragliding North Jutland www.pgnorddk DHPU Source: http://www.doksinet Safety Where to fly • Coastal soaring is different from flying in the mountains and can be very dangerous if you don`t know how to do it. In order to fly we often have to start in rather more wind than the typical case in the

mountains. This requires different and more sophisticated ground handling skills. Many of the accidents by foreign pilots occur in connection with starting in strong winds. The sensible thing is to go to the top of the dune and measure or feel the wind before starting on the beach! • As a special rule in Løkken it is not allowed to fly south of Furreby from the 1th of June until the 1th of September. Please look at the pictures. E • Do not fly over people who obviously prefer privacy. From the 1th of June until the 1th of September. S N  S • Paraglider students should never fly in stronger wind than 7 m/s or 26 km/h (measured on the top af the dune) • Also in Løkken it is prohibited to top launch in front of the big house close to the ridge a few hundred meters north of Furreby (57N23’34’’ 9E43’51’’). Go north or south of the house or launch on the beach. W • It is important to be aware of the fact that the wind on the beach may seem adequate but it

may very well be too strong for most pilot levels a little higher up. Many pilots have been surprised by this and have got blown back into the rotor behind the crest where collapses are likely to occur. Very experienced pilots may be able to fly in strong winds. This does not necessarily mean that pilots unaccustomed to the local factors can do the same. • A few of the local land owners do not like paragliders and hanggliders flying near their houses. There is plenty of room to fly north of Furreby, so please respect this. • Always fly with a speedbar. W E N
