Startplatz-Beschreibung

Altitude : 2 200 metres ASL Situation : West region (St-Paul) Access : Accesses to Maido peak are particularly well indicated from St Paul or St Gilles by the Route du Théâtre, thanks to the orange-coloured road signs which will guide you up to the summit. The site is 1 km downstream to the summit. Park your vehicle just before the exit of the forest and take the road on your left, you will arrive on the site after 10 minutes of walking on foot.

Wetter

Aerology : Plan to arrive early at the takeoff, the aerology strengthening quickly in the morning. A meteorological beacon (143.9875) (regrettably being repaired for the moment), gives you force and direction of the wind every quarter of an hour. By West wind, northwest (coming from your left-handler in the takeoff) you will be in front of wind to leave Rivière des Galets, strong turbulences are guaranteed before every crest. Reserved for the experimented pilots. Please, rather go and admire the magnificent point of view over Mafate\'s cirque and come down again by car to bathe in the lagoon. You will enjoy flying tomorrow ! Before flying from MAIDO, please, contact local paragliders, they will give you tips and may even come to fly with you, if you provide the shuttle for them...

Flight plan : Mythical site with vertiginous walls, reserved nevertheless for the experimented pilots.... The possibilities of cross are numerous. Be careful however, the aerology of this site is often complex and strong. The classic flight plan is to follow crests until the exit of the circus by Rivière des Galets. Indeed, if the conditions are good, possibility of playing over the takeoff, then, if you are high enough, above crests 200m about. One can fall over, from this big cirque on the West and join the heights of Saint-Paul.
