Godd spot to start learning elevated pads. Normal approach fine (with only 14' above surrounding) just remember that apparent ground speed will be slower. You may find yourself on top of the spot with excess speed.

As the elevation gets higher, you fly in with more room beneath you so a flatter approach path is possible and safe. That's what I fly to a mountain pinnacle...uses less energy if flown properly. I'm told.
