Take-off description
Quite good and easy takeoff. Top landing possible, but be careful when conditions become strong!
Getting there
From beirut, on Damascus road, left of the road after the big bridge. about 25km from Beirut.
Weather
Conditions can get quite strong quite quickly : don't wait too much before going to landing unless you can find some thermals turbulences at landing.
Rules / airspace
Warn the army the day before you plan to fly, and half an hour before you takeoff. Meeting and asking locals is the best idea you can have before going to fly.
Comments
Althought the site is west oriented, flying here starts early on sunny days (from 10am) and can stop also early because of conditions getting strong !
