EXCLUSIVE FLYING AREAS

Many of the flying sites that we use are either private property or National Park land.
This limits their use. The down side is that we are not allowed to modify the ground to
enlarge the take-offs. We have to adapt to the areas, which are sometimes small,
and cannot remove rocks and bushes, which are protected by law. However there is a
plus side. The sites are restricted use and are not crowded as are the other sites
available to visiting flyers. This is an enormous advantage. It means that we can be
very selective in the use of these sites. Obviously we will use them according to the
current weather conditions. But we also use them according to the pilots ability. Thus
we tailor the flying to your needs and you fly from sites suitable for your level of skill.
You are not required to fly the more technical sites until you have developed
sufficient ability.


Within one hour by car of Motril we have about 40 sites. The nature of these sites is
very variable. There are slopes suitable for students, hills suitable for soaring and for
thermalling, with landings on large safe beaches and small exciting beaches, or cross
country with mountains going upto 12,000 ft.


Due to the popularity our area has gained, as one of the best flying zones in Europe,
we are invaded by innumerable pilots and foreign schools. The public sites here are
crowded. That is why we have gone to the expense of buying or privately renting the
sites that we use. Thus our clients have exclusive use to some of the best sites in
the area. I know that they are the best because I have been flying here since 1987!
Thanks to our new, additional, base at Alfacar we have now extended our reach to
sites further north. Areas such as Jaén, Loja and Baza are within easy reach from
Alfacar. These are sites rarely seen by foreign pilots, less crowded and excellent
start-points for cross country.
