Kaspi



This site, located about 35 minutes NW from Tbilisi, is very flexible, allowing launches in many directions. It can be attractive for soaring when the wind comes from the North or North East. The ridge is about four kilometers long, running East to West. It may also be possible to catch good thermals from this launch site, but we have not managed yet.

There is a good view of the Caucasus range from here.

Our launch site is to the east of Kaspi. It is easy to identify from the main road running from Tbilisi to the west of Georgia. A good four-wheel-drive will not have difficulties getting to the launch site. Coordinates available on request.

The electric cables running to the north of the ridge are a potential hazard, especially for inexperienced pilots.

Wind: N, NE, E, S; it may be almost wind-still in Tbilisi when there is good NE for soaring at Kaspi.
