| takeoff | One of the most frequented sites on Tenerife. Good access by car. Parking near the start. Very large space on the mountain, no grass, carpets for takeoff |
|---|---|
| landing | Play de la Enramada ATTN: read rules below!! Several options between Highway/ Tropicana and beach - but available landing spots change every year due to construction of houses etc! |
| weather | Do not fly if local pilots are on the ground. Check for hard left or right wind on the start. Try to land fast if you see white waves on the sea. Taucho is in the lee side of the Tenerife Island. Best flying is when the main wind to the island is NE. 80% of the year wind direction is NE. This gives SW lee side winds on the start and landing and good thermal conditions with a possibility to thermal the 25 km length of SW side of Island. Check the weather on: http://www.aemet.es/es/eltiempo/prediccion/modelosnumericos/hirlam005?opc2=coo&opc3=vi zoom in on AEMET for details. Conditions on the start can check on: http://www.windguru.cz/ru/index.php?sc=438711 !! Need to see the WRF 9Km !! !!! Not the GFS 27Km !!! |
| rules | Landing on the (sand) beach in Costa Adeje (N28.092 W16.745) is strictly prohibited and controlled by local police to avoid injuries of people on the beach. Landing on rocky black beach westwards (N28.0924 W16.7466) or even pirate beach (N28.0976 W16.7515) is tolerated (but probably not legal either). |
| access | The road to the takeoff leaves from Adeje close to LIDL |
