Live seven-day flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Monfestino.
Site briefing
Easy E takeoff, grassy slope. Pass on the left of the oak with the windsock when launching. Pay special attention to the wind cheching the windsock on the antenna on the N takeoff. If the wind is from N, NE this takeoff is in rotor. With N, NE winds use the N takeoff. N takeoff (50 m northbound). Short, narrow and steep, a little intimidating, but looks worse than it actually is. Make sure your glider comes up cleanly before committing your launch.
Only land in the official landing as shown on the map. Medium-easy landing with bailout possibilities. Can be rough with strong E winds aloft, take care.
From Modena follow signs for Pavullo nel Frignano. Pass Gorzano and after some Km turn right following directions for Serramazzoni. After approx. 5 Km turn right following the sign for Monfestino (narrow, paved road). Leave your car just before entering the village and walk down 50m to the takeoff. DRIVE SLOWLY!!! We struggle to keep good relations with the inhabitants.
Unflyable with NW, W, SW, S winds. Rough with strong E winds. With N, NE winds the E takeoff can look good but is in rotor, beware! Can launch from here with very light N and NE. In this case steer left as soon as you clear the launch.
Max ceiling 1300m AMSL due to the Bologna CTR.
