DESCRIPTION

There is a guy who tows with winch, here is a phone: +37061032016. Site works for all wind directions. Typical tow is 500m for nil wind and up to 1000m in stronger wind.

If you see paragliders in the air you can reach pilots and winch operator on 445.100Mhz frequency.Very nice view of river Nemunas loops. Good XC site for NW, N, NE winds. If winds are from the S, XC will be limited by airspace restrictions to the north from the site. Local flying is still good with S winds.

Access

go by bus to PRIENAI, give a call to towing guy and you will solve the problem :)

Rules

Obey instructions from local winch operator who is in touch with nearby airport in Pociunai where sailplane, parachuting and small aircraft activities take place.
