stuartasutherland Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 1600 m is about 5000ft. Having read this forum a fair bit, I know a goal many like to get is 10,000ft so I think you would have no problems. Check airspace though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spigot Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You don't want to stop at 1600m that's 4m short of a mile high! 5265 ft is what your aiming for Yes, its perfectly possible to fly that high, and higher. And legal so long as you don't climb into any restricted airspace. Our local area has a 6500ft ceiling before we are in class A Wrap up warm. Expect your motor to be a little sluggish at altitude. Don't fly in the clouds, that's where mountains hide. And take a Camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon_dunn Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Here's me at 8035ft above Omagh, Northern Ireland, last year... Bloody cold!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Also, be sure to get a good wx briefing. I would have concern over wind rotor near the summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Good point- you'll need to be well over 1600m to clear any rotor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadders Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Rotor over mountain tops can be up to 2000 if a wind is blowing Have a plan and be careful I had a serious event once when I was flying my lightweight single seat microlight. I really thought I had made my last flight! I was just too low and the rotor which you cannot see gave me a real experience! A calm day would have been another kettle of fish. I have 3000 hours flyight time and got caught out Good luck Hadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
