Takeoff description

The best takeoff in Madeira Island for XC-Flights. Many of the local competitions are held there due to its frequent good flying conditions all year round. Frequent meeting point to local pilots. Foreign pilots welcome. Gentle, wide and long slope. Not in the rotor, without cranes nearby, also cactus free and without buildings.
