DESCRIPTION: Impressive but very effective artificial take off. The pre-flight control area is small, you can barely fit 2 gliders at the same time. The ramp is steep. A perfect glider control and pre-flight check are a must in this take off.
LANDING: 2 official landing in Avià, the town on the south, accross the industrial area. You need to gain at least 100 meters over the take off to reach comfortably this landing. If not there are few unofficial fields over the industrial area (when not cultivated, just for emergency landing). Watch out for power and phone lines. Respect the crops, don't land close to cows and specially horses. Pack outside of those fields.
