Quixada - Morro do Urucum
Best Wind Directions
About This Spot
Strong thermals, excellent conditions for XC flighs and a pleasant soaring flight on sunsets.
XC-flights: retrieves complicated/ tricky/ time consuming due to (very) poor roads (specially until Monsenhor Tabosa) and lousy communications (improving every year). However this remains the the best XC site for long distance (straight line) flights in the world.
XC-flights: carry LOTS of water, a hat and sun cream!!!
Takeoff altitude: 470m
