西灣

Description:
描述:

Sai Wan is an infrequently used but gazetted paragliding site open for use. Recently some members have rediscovered this site which is especially suitable for speedwings due to it's Launch to Landing glide just over 2:1.
西灣是一個不常使用的滑翔傘場地。該場地起飛至降落滑降比約2:1，特別適合速度傘飛行。

Compared with the nearby Long Kee Sai Wan offers a higher launch (220m/730ft) and works in more northerly winds than Long Kee.
與附近的浪茄灣相比，西灣具有更高的起飛場（220m / 730ft），並且偏北風時場地可飛性更大。

Launch Area:
起飛場:

Launch area is a small spur 220m/730ft AMSL, slightly towards the eastern face from the nose of the ridge.
起飛地點是一個位於220m / 730ft AMSL的山崚，從山脊的頂部向東面一點。

The launch area forms a rotor during northerly winds due to terrain and vegetation. Do not use the launch area during northerly winds. 
由於地形和植被的原因，起飛場在吹北風時會出現湍流。 請勿在北風期間使用起飛場。

Landing Zone:
降落場:

The main LZ is the Sai Wan Tsuen beach. Below shows full DBF circuit approach paths (green, recommended) and direct over-river (pink) approach paths. In all cases be aware of the power lines. Look out and perform your landing away from swimmer and spectator on the beach.
主要的降落場是西灣村的海灘。下面顯示了完整降落進場路徑（綠色，推薦）和直接進場（粉紅色）進場路徑，降落時請注意半山的電線。降落時請留意並遠離人群和其他沙灘使用者。

天氣:

Winds to look for on the HKO website are Tate's Cairn and Waglan with force 2-4 Easterly for ridge lift, or weaker conditions for sled runs. Never takeoff a paraglider in force 5 and above wind condition.
在天文台網站上尋找的風向是：大老山和橫瀾島偏東2-4級風。不要嘗試在風力5級或以上情況進行滑翔傘活動。

Hazards:

注意:

A power line spans across the whole valley. You must know where you are in relation to the power lines if flying low near the rivers or the point separating the two beaches. 
有一條電源線橫跨整個山谷。如果在河邊的地方低空飛行，您必須知道您與電源線的相對位置。

Pilots should be proficient in the emergency procedures of ditching (landing in the water) before takeoff. Please refer to the emergency landing webpage for further information.
飛行員應在起飛前熟識水上緊急降落的程序。請參閱緊急降落網頁以了解更多資訊。
