SHEK O
石澳

Easterly Condition
東風情況

Description:
描述：

Shek O is a Great Soaring Site for E winds but can handle NE to SE conditions. Every now and then it produces Thermal conditions.
石澳是我們在香港擁有的最好的滑翔傘熱點之一，偏東風向可以進行動力氣流飛行。

The ridge has North East and South East facing aspects. The Normal takeoff is on the North end. It is on a steep slope with a gritty dirt and grass covered surface. Proper pre-flight check is needed as the launch is committing. As soon as you inflate the wing will grab and you will be airborne.
龍脊分為東北和東南兩個坐向的山脊，起飛場在北端陡峭的斜坡上。在起飛過程中，必需要進行正確的飛行前檢查，滑翔傘一旦充氣，動力氣流就會差生升力並將飛行員帶離地面。

If conditions permit you can fly across the gap to the South to Cape D’Aguilar. If you attempt this then you should be aware that the glide is substantial. Gain as much height as possible and get out in front as far as possible before leaving the ridge. The Gap generates quite a venturi effect. Don't attempt to cross the gap to Cape D’Aguilar when it is South easterly.  There is NO landing area in Cape D’Aguilar, please make sure you have enough altitude to glide back to landing zone before attempted to cross the gap. 
如果條件允許，您可以越過山谷飛向南部，到達鶴咀。如果嘗試這樣做，離開龍脊之前請盡可能增加高度，該山谷產生相當的文丘里效應。當風偏東南時，不要試圖越過山谷前往鶴咀。鶴咀沒有可以降落的區域，越過山谷前請預留足夠高度以返回降落區。

Winds to look for on the HKO website are Waglan Island with as much E as possible and force 2-4. Never takeoff a paraglider in force 5 and above wind condition.
在天文台網站上尋找的風向是：橫瀾島，偏東風2-4級。不要嘗試在風力5級或以上情況進行滑翔傘活動。

Height Limit 1500 feet
高度限制1500英尺

Landing Zone:
降落區：

Landing on the Golf Course and Shek O main beach is prohibited
禁止在高爾夫球場和石澳泳灘降落

The LZ is the small area inland of the small beach to the East and North of the Main beach (Rocky Bay Beach). You cannot see the LZ from the Normal Take off, but it is visible from the Trig station. For landing at the LZ setup should be made over the small area slightly inland. Look out and perform your landing away from swimmer and spectator on the beach.
降落區是石澳後灘的小區域，您無法從起飛場看到降落區，但可以從三角網測站看到它。要在降落區著陸時，應在較內陸區域內進行消高。降落時請留意並遠離人群和其他沙灘使用者。

Consideration should be given to the final glide. Too high and you may overfly the LZ and too low you may not clear the fence and be forced to land short in the Golf Course or in the polluted water. You should plan to cross the Tall Fence ( it has barbed wire on top !! ) at about 10 feet and then use appropriate brake to stop yourself flying past the LZ. The Sandy beach is a small sand dune that rises up from the grassy area, so this should help you make the landing zone. 
準確降落必須預先計劃最後的降落滑行，如果高度太高您可能飛越降落區，如果高度太低您可能撞向圍欄，或並被迫在高爾夫球場或河水中著陸，正確的降落滑行應該在大約10英尺處越過高柵欄（頂部有鐵絲網!!）。

These Photos can give you an idea about the landing site and a clean approach.
這些照片可以使您對降落區有更清晰的了解。

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。

Pilots should consider wearing a personal flotation device meeting the EN 399 standard when flying over water.
飛行員在飛越水面時應考慮穿戴符合EN 399標準的個人助浮裝置。

Access:
如何前往:

(MTR / Bus) – You can catch the MTR to Shau Kei Wan then the no.9 Bus to Shek O. Get off at Lan Nai Wan.
（地鐵/巴士）–您可以乘地鐵到筲箕灣，然後乘9路巴士到石澳，在爛泥灣下車。

  

From the Bus Stop and the Path Entrance up the Hill
從巴士站和山上的小徑進入

Walk up the Hill ( 20 min Moderate Climb ) Walk up the stairs to a small BBQ area. Stay to the Left and go through the small path under the trees that makes its way up the hill. When you get to a crossing track, go Right for about 10m then Left up the hill again to the top. The Normal Takeoff is directly in front of you.
沿樓梯到一個小的燒烤區，向左走，穿過樹下的小路，沿小徑直上山。約10分鐘當您到達交叉路口時，向右走約10m，然後再向左走約10分鐘到山頂，起飛場就在您的正前方。
