Takeoff description
There are 4 takeoff sites very close to each other: Lower takeoff: 880 m Normal takeoff QNH: 980 m (550 m AGL) Takeshi takeoff approx 1040m High Takeoff: 1160M The high takeoff (top of Roselli mountain) is suitable for hike&flys. Rarely used for XC also because the grass gets pretty long in summer months, and there are some hidden rocks. Takeshi takeoff is good in strong thermal days where the thermal wind at the main takeoff may become very strong (too strong for the beginners). Up there it is usually lighter. The normal takeoff is the only one which can be used if the wind arrives from West. Low takeoff, although not used very often, is aquiped with a moquette surface. The running distance however is not very long, and in summer the wind is always from the side. But in winter months, or early hours usually there is no problem. It can be used sometimes in winter in case normal takeoff is already in the cloudcover.
