Local weather notes
Dust devils!!! Be very careful especially when at low altitude over the landing site. Thundertorms may buid up very quickly in May and June. If you star getting a good lift everywhere on the plains, know that its the last moment to get down. Sometimes strong wind is present at higher altitudes while not present at takeoff. This is especially important if soaring over Monte Vettore.
Flight rules
At landing, avoid making low flight or making the '8' over the horses (western quadrant with tespect to the road intersection).
