Our Flying Sites
We are managing several flying sites near Metro Manila. There are 2 seasons in the Philippines like in other tropical countries.
Firstly, the dry season mostly starts in October until May next year. Usually, we have strong trade winds coming from the East-Pacific Ocean. The second is the wet season. The wind is coming from the west with lots of moisture from June to September. However, it’s flyable most of days during wet season even there are local shower except end of July to August.
We used to fly in Carmona Cavite because it’s very near to Metro Manila for training and tandem flying purposes. Take-off is located only 100 meters high. But it’s good to fly for the strong wind and thermic wind.
If you want to fly over the lake, Cardona Rizal is another option. It’s a bit of a strong wind, but it’s a laminar wind due to the wind coming from Laguna de Bay. But we do top landing more than 99% because landing is very small along the shoreline. You can try as a solo pilot if you have a strong gut.
San Mateo site is well known as a height peak and strong and gentle thermal near Metro Manila but only rainy season. There are several mining sites beside and you can see Manila Bay.
