The landing area, is also equipped with wind sock, is 400 meters above sea level and is clearly visible from the take-off area and easily reached by inexperienced pilots. Thanks to the proximity of the sea (about 30 km), Tocco da Casauria is in favor of a constant breeze and generous thermal conditions, from spring to autumn. You can choose to sail along the down ridge and stay ahead of takeoff or proceed to head to the Morrone for a cross-flight…follow the mountain chain to get to Pacentro (AQ) or even reach Piana delle Cinque Miglia, near Roccaraso (AQ). If you want, you can also go in the direction of the Gran Sasso Park, in which case you must first acquire a safe altitude, needed to cross the Gorges of Tremonti (or Gole di Popoli) and then proceed to Cannatina.
