I don't understand the problem. Don't you fly upwind of the ridge and
approximately at or below the crest? Of course, if you fly above the
crest, I could see the conflict. If you fly in front of the ridge, is
there concern that the power companies will lobby the FAA to prevent you
from flying "too close"ly?



We fly at ridge top height and about a wing span out on the good days. We
rarely fly below the crest intentionally. It is faster at ridge top.On
softer days we may be almost on top of the ridge and a couple hundred feet
up.
The windmills are shown almost exactly where we fly.
