Soaring Noah's Country

We will be using 5 different take-off places: **Teghenis** large and smooth area, a perfect start for XC flights and for top landings. The micrometeorology is mostly predictable. Oriented for southern, north and west winds, the cloudbase in good days can reach as high as 5400m above sea level. **Aparan** This is a south facing take-off, large, clean and smooth area also perfect for XC flights and very easy to and top land. The mountain range has a long ridge and it makes good conditions for dynamic soaring. Take-off can be reached by foot or by 4WD vehicles. The local aerology is very predictable. The cloudbase can reach as high as 5000 m over sea level. **Sevan** another smooth take-off accessible by 4WD vehicles. The landing is a soft, grass-covered field. The mountain range has long straight ridges, good for dynamic soaring. **Hatis** simple relief and predictable aerology, with good XC potential. Thermals are relatively high, and the thermal cycles are long-lasting. There are plenty of fields for landing. Take off areas are reached by 4WD vehicles. **Gutan** simple relief and predictable aerology, with quite good XC potential. The thermals are relatively high, thermal cycles are long-lasting. Suitable for dynamic soaring. Take off areas are reached by 4WD vehicles. **Vedi** good XC conditions, unlimited places for landing, predictable micrometeorology, long stretch of mountain range which allows to fly long distances.
