Take-off description
Wide grass ramp for NE|N|NW, two to three gliders at a time. Small rocky ramp (one glider at a time) covered with artificial grass for SW|S|SO takeoffs. Small E|W ramps with mixed limestone rocks and grass.
Getting there
30km from Curitiba - Paraná. Going towards Ponta Grossa through BR-277, after passing Campo Largo's main church, take the third overpass. Follow through the cobbled street until the dirt road begins. Go through the dirt road for the next 5km, always keeping left in the forks. The club is inside a private property. On Waze, search for 'Clube Morro do Cal' to get directions all the way to the parking lot.
Rules / airspace
SBR-508. Connects to SBR-552 and SBR-507 (gateway to XC flights).
Comments
Good for thermal flights, mild turbulence. Landing may be turbulent during thermal hours. Smooth flights at the end of the day. Soaring conditions are hard to happen, but when they appear, they tend to last long. Contact local people in order to arrange rides from Curitiba as it's not too easy to get to the club on the first couple of times.
