Tiger Mountain
New & Visiting Pilot Info
Welcome to Tiger Mountain. Before flying here we ask that you ensure your USHPA membership and rating is current, become a member of the club, and read the site guide. Then we recommend joining the Telegram channel to coordinate with locals for an in person site introduction. On almost any good flying day there will be locals out flying.
Pilot Information
Flight Planning
We recommend checking the Military Training Route Schedule for Rampart and Saddle first if you plan to fly these sites. Low flying jet aircraft train in these areas and fly at 8 miles per minute! Eyes and ears open. Don't be a fly on a windshield!
Do Not Land File
The club maintains a list of locations where we have been asked to do our best not to land. You can download that file and add it to your flight computer.
​
You can view them by downloading the file and uploading it to XC Globe.

Tree Rescue Contacts
These contacts can be helpful if a person or wing gets stuck in a tree. It can be good to have these numbers in your phone.

Non-commerical Tandems
In this section we describe the club's requirements for flying non-commercial tandem flights at NWPC managed sites.​ By definition, Tandem Flight is for instruction.
Rogallo level - Unpaid Tandem Instructors must be on the USHPA Certified Non-Commercial Instructors list and maintain non-commercial / non-compensation for the full past 12 months to qualify as having non-commercial / non-compensation ​status. Even if a pilot fills in for a school to do a commercial tandem flight just for one flight, they are now considered an Instructor-for-Hire-or-Consideration by default for the next 12 months. All Tandem flights from NWPC Sites with Additional Insured Landowners must follow the USHPA tandem exemption and all USHPA protocols. Aero Sports Connection (ASC) exemption is not valid for tandem flight at NWPC Sites with Additional Insured Landowners.
All Tandem flight needs to comply with the FAA Exemption 4721 - Tandem Operations and latest FAA decisions as outlined on the USHPA website.
