takeoff | Launch can be made from anywhere on the top of the ridge around the centre section of the bowl where the ground is covered by grass. The best location will depend on the actual wind direction on the day. |
---|---|
landing | |
weather | The easiest time to launch tends to be the first part of the morning before the cloud development takes place and thermals start. Once the thermals start to 'kick in', watch out for sudden changes in wind direction, as if the wind swings round to the West (or even NW), then the wind in the bowl below ridge level can become quite turbulent and rough. The terrain to the East of the site drops away sharply, and you must be careful not to enter this area unless the wind direction is East of South. All commerical aircraft are flying at high altitude in this location, but do keep an eye out as I have seen military helicopters operating close by on a previous occasion. |
rules | As far as I am aware, there are currently no regulations for free flying in the Philippines. You can ask for further information from the user group below. |
access | The site can be reached from the highway running from San Carlos to Bacolod. Take the turning on the Barangay road to Nataban which is 19km from San Carlos & just before 'Our Lady of Peace' High School in Prosperidad. Travel along the barabgay road about 1 km and stop on the bend (see photo). From there it is a hike up the hill to the back of the ridge (see photo). |
comments | This large bowl faces approx SSW, which is close to the prevailing wind direction for the 'rainy season'. If the conditions are right and the wind is coming from between South & South West, then there should be good ridge lift around most of the bowl. Before the thermals start getting strong the lift is pretty smooth, and the flying is very plesant. |
