Indicates a place to tag landing and takeoff for free flying aircraft with additional related amenities.
- free flying in this context means: Foot launched aircraft, without motorization.
Examples of such aircraft are:
- Hang gliding
- Paragliding
- Swift
- Rigid hang gliders such as Atos VR
Official means suitable sites for landings and takeoffs where you will usually find windsocks, information signs, parking, human maintenance and maybe first aid kits.
However, an optional tag might be used to describe an unofficial but suitable and allowed landing or take off.
