FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
Fuetemilanos Airfield
What is the flight without a motor?
It is flight in gliders, the glider is an aircraft that moves through the air without engine that propels it. For the takeoff it uses another motor airplane after which it remains towed by means of a cable to a certain height. After that the glider continues the flight planning and to prolong the flight uses the thermal currents that are detached from the ground (flight to thermal) or the wind that moves down the slopes of the mountain range (slope flight) and even the effect of rebound in the slope of L As mountain ranges that produce the wind (undulating flight) as do the birds that the area we have such as vultures and kites.
If I rent airplanes from the airfield, what cost do I pay?
Those reflected in the price list of this page, if you fly the school biplaza would be the rent of the plane and (if necessary) the cost of the instructor. In the case of the single seater the rent of the plane and in both cases the cost of the trailers that are carried out.
If I have my own glider, what are the flight costs?
In the case of gliders the weekly or annual quota plus the trailers that are made. In case of Motoveleros autodespegables the weekly or annual fee and not need to tow only pay the rate of take and takeoff. If they want to hangar the aircraft the cost of it in day or month of hangar. The airplane and trailer outdoor parking is included in the weekly or annual fee.
