Pilot comments
Lorsque les conditions sont "travers droit ou gauche" la sortie du décollage peut être turbulente. Le site étant orienté Ouest, les conditions sont calmes en matinée. Les conditions thermiques s'installent progressivement à partir de 12H et peuvent être parfois fortes en milieu d'après-midi.
