Description
Azua is a town located about 1 hour and 20 minutes west of Santo Domingo, on the South Coast of the Dominican Republic. To reach the takeoff point, a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended, although a 15-minute hike is also an option.
The launch altitude is 90 meters above ground level (AGL), with the highest point of the small range being less than 350 meters AGL. This range runs east, parallel to the first big ranges of the Central Range, which is about 2 kilometers north. The takeoff faces the sea (Bahía de Ocoa), approximately 5 kilometers south. The terrain in Azua and the surrounding South West region is semi-desert.
Pilots often take off early in the morning, around 10 AM, to take advantage of the incoming sea breeze. As the day progresses, thermal activity begins to peak around 12:30 PM. While thermals can be disordered, reaching an altitude of more than 800 meters AGL allows pilots to head north towards the larger mountain ranges. If successful in reaching these mountains, the typical route is northwest along the Central Range, utilizing the altitude wind blowing east. The XC (cross-country) potential is significant, as the Central Range extends deep into Haiti for more than 150 kilometers.
The maximum XC distance registered from this site is 69.5 kilometers.
