Takeoff description
Termoladera con régimen de brisas de SE y S. Con viento de SW o W no se recomienda el vuelo al quedar a sotavento de las montañas mas altas sobre el pueblo de Amer. Con viento de E no funciona bien la ladera al quedar fugada pero no es turbulento el vuelo. Queda protegido del viento de Tramontana (N) y es posible el vuelo
