Babadağ 1900 Güney
Also known as: Yamaç Paraşütü Başlangıç Alanı 1900M - Güney

- Strong
- Wedge: launch direction, from flights
- Arrow: the wind of the selected hour (once the forecast loads)
The wedge and the arrow are drawn when zoomed in (zoom 11 and closer). A comparison of directions only; the pilot decides.
Wind and take-off
Shaded range: directions the take-off faces (±45°)Marker: where the wind comes from
Today and tomorrow, hour by hour
Column: 10 m wind speed (m/s); the arrow points where the wind blows; below it, the mark against the take-off. Past hours are struck through, with a hollow column. Pick an hour.
Rows below: approximate temperature at take-off height (°C) and the cloud base's height above the take-off (m; “cloud”: base at or below the take-off). The cloud base is an approximation from the forecast's temperature and dew point (125 m × spread); the real base may differ.
This only compares the forecast wind direction with the directions the take-off faces. It is not a go/no-go call. The pilot decides.
The forecast is for 10 m above ground and a 0.25° cell; the take-off's exact position is never sent to the weather service.
Slope analysis
Shades the map by how the sun and the forecast wind meet the slopes on the day and hour you pick.
Slope the sun hits nearly head-on (angle of incidence below 60°)
Slope in glancing sun or in shade
Shadows cast by neighbouring mountains are not computed; only which way the slope faces.
Slope facing the wind
Lee slope (wind from behind)
The wind is a model forecast for a 0.25° cell; the real wind on a ridge can differ.
For pre-flight planning only; not for use in flight, the pilot decides.

No exact count is shown, to protect pilots' privacy; support is given as a level.
At this take-off, the model in past flights…
- showed the wind direction mostly 93° clockwise of the direction pilots actually launched in (confidence interval 79° … 105°).
- gave mostly 9–11 km/h of surface wind (10 m) in the hours flights happened (median 10 km/h).
- gave mostly 8–14 km/h at about 1,500 m (850 hPa) in the same hours (median 9 km/h).
The flights compared mostly took off between 11:47 and 13:40. Landings were mostly between 14:02 and 16:09.
The first thermal was usually seen 271 min after the sun reached 30° (median time 13:27; confidence interval 141 … 391 min).
The weather model gives no thermal start, so the thermal time is compared with the sun's altitude. When pilots launch late, the first thermal looks late too.
This summary includes synthetic test flights; it does not show real conditions.
Intervals are 95% confidence intervals from past flights.
A summary of past flights, not a forecast or a go/no-go call. The pilot decides.
