Takeoff description
Capaccio is the symbol of free flight at least of the lower Campania and Lucania, a reality established for over 20 years. A site that offers the most varied possibilities: from the flight purely in dynamics, to the days for spring days of good thermal activity, from the flight for beginners, the starting point for important cross-country flights to the possibility of two-seaters with breathtaking views ranging from Capri, passing through the Amalfi Coast until you look at the mountains of Cilento, from the most inland to the coastal one. It guarantees at least 300 flying days in a year, a weather condition almost certain, with the entrance of sea breeze on time every day, and almost always gives flights back until late evening. The take-off of Capaccio is always attended, on weekends as well as during the week, well maintained and above all easily accessible by car, with a take-off landing distance of 4 km walkable in a few minutes. Easy to find and well accessable by car. TO at the wind sock on the right side facing downwards. Strong uplift at the age. Turn left after TO.
