There is one launch area (1586m ASL) with three huge ramps all of them facing South. Taking several aspects into account, we would be using two or three ramps on each launch and, to make the whole process more efficient and organized, we would be using “ordered launch” system. The launch has huge rigging area that allow 120+ gliders.
The car parking area is also huge for many cars and vans. There are no main hazards. The launch is faced to all the valley with many landing fields and the official one in Agulló
A big area on the launch that allows helicopter landings if necessary.
