Take-off access by car:
From the landing, go back to the road, towards the village, first runway on the right. Follow the runway all the way to the end . The last 300 meters are bad enough for cars. Park in the car park at the antennas, leaving space for the turnaround. Once parked, take the small path going westward about 8 minutes on foot. The decoration is very large.
Access take-off on foot:
since the GR91 climbed to the top of the village. Take the trail to Col Maur. From there, take the path to the right up the ridge. Keep going all the way to the top. The decoration is 150 m after the summit.
south faced, high in altitude, south of france, dont be late, thermals are strong after 11 am in summer. from luc en diois, folow gap direction, after 2 Km , you will find a special cross, turn right to go left at lesches en diois.6 Km after, pass the nice village.800m after, leave the tarmac and turn left,(sign : site de vol libre)150 m landing on the right, continue 4 km till the end off the road. walk 200m easy (flat walk) and you will be on the take off (huge, suitable for 10 wings)
Very good site with south wind, slope breeze, and/or thermodynamics.
Thermals can be explosive, (especially in summer in the late morning).
Be careful before you take off.
The breeze from the Diois can be dominant and place the site to leeward,
This is verified at the top of the ridge (20 Meters above the deco).
The R196B Zone (can be activated by Notam)
It's a training area for military aircraft.
It is prohibited if it is active.
It concerns most of the sites of the Diois, consult the map.
You will be in it above 1000 m/Ground (exactly 3300 Ft CBSA).
It's climbing to FL125.
Fortunately for us, it is not active on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and from July 1st to September 15th.
Outside these days, to find out if it is active: tel: 0800245466 or consult the Notams.
Why do we see fighter jets flying at 200 kilometers per hour outside of R196B's activation time or below? Exactly where we're flying or 150 meters above the roof of my grandmother's house?
Well, the airspace we're using is cleared for visual flight rules. So he is to us as well as to them.
When they are "at home", they are in VFR, they have to fly at 250 kt max, and look out the window to avoid paragliders, deltas and gliders... that's the rule...
For your information, when they are in IFR the aircraft are guided (heading and altitude) by air traffic controllers.
If the pilot wants to descend, climb, or turn right, he has to request clearance from the controllers. This is because, in IFR, it is the controllers who provide separation (anti-collision) between aircraft.
Come on, have a good flight! We've got room to play in the sky!
ENGLISH:
Air regulations: zone R196B. Above 1000 m / surface. Military planes training zone forbidden (actionable by Notam).
Not actionable on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and Holidays, as well as from July 1st till September 15th.
The westerly breeze (right across the decor), can be felt early enough to make you feel
the flight much more difficult, if not impossible.
Best to take off before the breeze hits.
Shared landing with ultralight aircraft.
Attention, it is imperative to respect the approaches of the ulm.
These are approaching in a U-shape.
Our landing strip is at the north beginning of the runway.
===> If there's no ULM, we land on the runway.
===> If ULM on approach or on the runway, you land on the right side of the runway.
(we keep the runway to our left for approach, loss of altitude, final, S, 8, ...)
( see plan below).
Note: ultralights make a U-shaped approach with left turns. (it allows us to predict their trajectories...)
Thank you, good flights and happy landings!
