Take-off description
Takeoff (despegue) is just to the east of the top T intersection at the top of the mountain below the antennas. There is a north facing takeoff at the helipad higher up near the west antennas.
Getting there
Drive north from Manzanillo to La Central. At the north end of La Central there is a sand road that heads east from the highway. Stay on that road and you will hit a black metal gate and stay on the main road all the way to the top. Please close gates as you go through as there are cattle grazing on the road.
Rules / airspace
ZLO control zone is 5 kms north of the Antennas and there is an airway from Manzanillo airport to Colima Airport that is 4000 feet ASL to 18000 feet.
Comments
You need a truck with good traction as some parts of the road are steep and sandy.
