Zuma Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Hello all ! I'm Loïc from France and soon, I will realise a kid dream...I'll visit USA ! 😍😃 With 5 buddies, we're all motorized paraglider pilots and we prepare a road trip. We looking for a lot of fun and nice places for fly and off course, Dumont Dunes and you are a perfect way to found a lot of fun ! We are happy to come but for us, it's very important to respect the rules, that's why I'd like to ask you some questions : - Is that possible to fly with a motorized paraglider in Dumont Dunes ? I've seen a lot of vidéos but I want to be sure. - We will come with rv's, I've seen there is a fee for camping for the OHV pilots but if we're not OHV pilots, should we paid too ? Thanks for your future answers ! We are very happy to come for discover Dumont Dunes and we wish you will accept us in your World. Best regards from France ! Loïc 1 Quote
turbo_bruce Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Yes there is a fee to camp and I believe there is a ticket booth at the entrance where you can purchase a pass as far as your paraglider you would have to call the BLM in Barstow to clarify if you can fly but I see them out there all the time Quote
dunefreak Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Welcome! Each RV or vehicle that enters will need a pass whether you are a pilot, driver, duner, or just a camper. I see guys flying there all the time. I don't believe you need any special permit. Like turbo_bruce said, maybe call BLM just to be sure. 760-252-6000 I reached out to a pilot buddy of mine. Hopefully he can chime in with more info about flying there. 1 Quote
VegasSparky Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Last time I looked at a sectional for the area the airspace is considered class "G" up to 1500', where it then becomes an M.O.A.(military operations area). You shouldn't have any restrictions. 2 1 Quote
