Tower of Time
Easily accessible by car; park at the "Feuerturm" and descend a few meters.
Very nice meadow start, complex approach.
Thermal flights in / over the caldera (restricted area to the south due to National Parkk, rangers watch out!)
Base altitude often too low for the fire tower in northerly conditions.
Valley wind in Caldera can be dangerously strong -> danger to life, few landing possibilities (but there is a parking lot at the bottom of the valley)
Landing site: Tazacorte harbor
Take-off TORRE DEL TIME (fire tower), Matthias, 12.03.2005
Take off parallel to the edge of the rock and then fly over the steep edge with sufficient height. Usually (very) strong thermals are to be expected here. This is due to the early sunlight.
Supraregional South + East = Lee!
1- and 2-seater
Altitude 1132m
