Flight plan : Flight in thermodynamics over the cliff, otherwise, by good conditions, possibility of transition towards Saint-Joseph

Altitude : 948 m Situation: Site of Bel-Air holiday resort Access: Coming from Petite Île : Take CD 31. After the church take Chemin Dauphin on the right. After about 800 m, turn to the left in Chemin Denis Leveneur (not very easy to spot, about 300 m after second hairpin curve on a straight line). The CD 3 will be perpendicular to you, turn to the right, then, after 50 metres, take the Relay lane on the left. From there, you will cross the picnic area of the Relay, then a Landing : WGS84 : S : 21.31330 - E : 55.60811 Visible from takeoff, in the center of the circus of the Plaine des Grègues, a meadow kindly lent by a nice owner who ask to pilots avoid stepping about when the grass is good to cut. Not far, are two other meadows, to be use with moderation, only in case of necessity. The football stadium can be approached if you're high enough and beware of the low-tension electric line. na. na. na.

Aerology : 1- Dominant meteorological wind come from the North, Southeast, South and sometimes Southwest in the West which can create a Southeast return. The presence of foam on the sea does not apparently prevent the exploitation of the site, on the condition of not going down on the coast. On a cloudy day, easy takeoff for a pure soaring in the air laminaire which allows to enjoy for a long time effortlessly. On a sunny day, caution in the takeoff because of squalls due to the thermal currents. In this type of flight it is important not to fly to leward relief, because nasty cuttings watch for the parapentiste which manages to rise higher than the crest side sea ! 2- A zone of weak wind allows the exploitation of considerable thermical currents. However, the takeoffs are more unpredictable because of the possible inversion of the direction of the breeze. There are remedies to this phenomenon : Eithet you take off before the cirque warms up too much, either you take off when there is no breeze. This kind of condition allows you to acquire height and pass in transit towards the coast 8 km from there, or join the mountainous relief and see other skies.
