Winter flying site (Oct to Jan):
• Shindewadi or training hill, ideally suited for introductory lessons. It’s a 150 feet small ridge that tapers to a nursery slope to the base. The slope offers perfect gradient for doing the initial hops, learning the takeoff and landing technique and where you will complete your epic “First Solo Flight”.
• Tower hill: Only for P2 training. This is located beside the highway. One can see the take off position from the highway itself. The site is a vast one like that of football field and stands at a height of 750ft from the valley floor. The site promises excellent launches with the prevailing winds, be it easterlies or westerlies.
