To fly at the sites in Shenandoah National Park, you must complete a Liability Release Form and a Special Use Permit Application. The release is available in PDF format, while the permit is available as a MS-Word file and in HTML format:
Liability Release (PDF format)
Special Use Permit Application (MS-Word)
Special Use Permit Application (HTML)
A PDF reader is needed to view and print the release. If you don't have one, you might want to download Adobe Acrobat from adobe.com
The Special Use Permit requires details about the LZs for the Shenandoah National Park sites. Just write "ON FILE" in large letters across the three areas where this information is requested. You must send the release, the SUP application, a photocopy of your USHGA membership card, and your check to the address listed at the bottom of the permit application. After processing, the National Park Service will send you two copies of your permit; you must then sign and return one of those copies.
Both the launches and the LZs for the Shenandoah sites are fairly technical. Do not fly them without the guidance of a pilot who knows them well.
There is no permission AT ALL to fly paragliders at Hogback.
Failure to comply with site regs may cause forfeiture of flying privileges at the site, fines and/or confiscation of equipment.
