Kleinerberg Startplatz 3

Kleinerberg Startplatz 3 is a launch in Austria at 1,245 m, working on east to south-east winds, with the Kleinerberg landing field below. Access up to the launch is controlled by a barrier gate — you need a key, available from the local club or from Villa Sonnwend, and on organised flying days the club runs a bus up instead. The one hazard to know before you fly is at the landing end, not the launch: a high-voltage power line runs just south of the Kleinerberg landing field, so plan your approach and final glide to keep well clear of it rather than discovering it on short final. Beyond the gate-key logistics and that power line, it's a fairly ordinary east-facing local launch.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Kleinerberg Startplatz 3, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch.
