Descripción del despegue
Take-off is oriented SSW. Ideal take-off varies between 10:00 and 14:00 hours, depending on local conditions and seasonal changes. Take-off itself is located at the top of La Cumbre at 750 m (above sea level) 350 mts from ground.Optimal flying conditions has a breeze that comes from the sea, which is located about 40 km (25 miles) away in a straight line in a SSE direction, and the valleys in front of take-off generate optimal thermal conditions.
Reglas / notas
10 miles north is the Colima airport, it is not allowed to fly in that direction.
Comentarios de pilotos
It is forbidden flying directly North of take-off, there is a national airportthere (restricted flying zone). At take-off, next to the door to the chapel, there is a printed map where one may observe the restricted zone and other details. Flying at La Cumbre has both thermal and soaring conditions. There is a range of mountains in a slight horseshoe shape that is located SE of take-off, which provides for convection, and over the valley of Piscila and Colima there are strong thermals. During December (the time of out competition) the thermal ceilings may easily reach more than 2500 m ASL (8250 feet). Ideal take-off varies between 11:00 and 14:00 hours, depending on local conditions and seasonal changes. One may fly about 85% of the year in Colima with good conditions.
