DESCRIPTION

It is the main learning site and the wind comes in later than in Noumea. So if you are too late to fly in Ouen Toro you'll have a chance here. It's also a magic site for sunset flight in warm and smooth air at the end of a day !

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- soaring
- thermals

weather

Very efficient site with moderate South-East wind ; fly is possible from SSE to ESE but became dangerous with ENE wind. When the white caps appear on the water, it's time to land.

access

Get the expressway following Tontouta airport and 10 km after leaving Noumea take the road on the left to Gadji. Go on 5 km and turn right on the track. You have to drive 5 km more to reach the beach. The site is on your right.

regulation

This site is under the limit between Magenta and Tontouta airports CTR. Both of this D class airspace begin at 700ft (213m). Take care also that the end of the Maa peak (at the south of the site) is a VFR report point for aircraft transiting between Magenta and Tontouta, airplane and helicopter can fly by this point in the CTR but also under.
