Pilot comments
Monte Ortobene is placed right out Nuoro outskirts,easy to reach from the town with a well paved road. Take off is 10Mt down the road in the middle of the bushe, 200mt after the restaurant.A thermic flight to avoid whit strong meteo winds. Landing is wide but become a little turbulent during summertime warmest hours .
