Event info

Cameli Open Pre PWC will be held in Denizli region from 10 till 16 of June with 1 reserve and 1 training day. It is organized by a famous Turkish pilot Semih Sayir and his team. This event will be sanctioned as Open FAI 2 category competition. Competitors are also eligible to get selection letters for PWCA with their positions indicated on overall results. The purpose of the event is to provide safe, fair and satisfying flying contest so that the best pilots will be awarded and also to reinforce friendship among pilots and international sports cooperation.

Flying site

Cameli is located not far from Oludeniz and Denizli. It’s a major XC flights intersection of South-West Turkey. The possibilities to fly in all directions are enormous. This area was discovered by an experienced Turkish pilot Semih Sayir, who used to take small groups for XC tours there.
The best flying conditions are in May, June, end of August and September with excellent thermal strength of 6-7 m/s. July can be windy, so you cannot expect every day to be suitable for flying. In winter the place is not flyable - the road to take off is blocked with snow. Still at any other time of the year the place offers good flying conditions with thermal strength of 4-5 m/s. So both in spring and in autumn till the end of October Camelly welcomes pilots to have fine XC flights.During the flying season the thermals are usually active until 5 p.m. in spring and 6 p.m. in summer. The best time to have a start window is 12. 30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Average flights made there are about 60-80 km. But with S-SW winds this place place has a good potential for XC flights exceeding 200 km. Cloud base is generally 3000 m and more. In the middle of April 2013 the pilots reached the altitude of 3700 m there. But it is rather a new place and the experts are sure that it has more records to come.Average task distances for Camely Open PrePWC 2013 will be 80-100 km. Cloud base in June is usually at 3000 m and average thermal strength is about 4 - 6 meters.

Take off Yaylacik Hill: 2130 ASL (36°58'49.12"N 29°18'50.78"E )
Winds: SW, S SE winds to fly north directions. The take-off ground has been rebuilt by the beginning of 2013. Its size was almost tripled with the help of construction machines in order to host international competitions. Cameli Open Pre World Cup 2013 will be the first competition of this renovated site. Besides the fire watch house of Forestry Department of Turkey has been built there recently. So the road to take off was also reconstructed. Now cars can easily ride up right to the start. It takes about 50 min to drive to the take-off from Cameli.

Cameli challenge

Cameli Open 2013 was held from 10th to 16th of June. Despite Turkey’s fine paragliding climate the weather was rather rough making the competition suitable more for experienced XC pilots. Out of 4 tasks only 2 were finished and 2 were stopped due to possibility of overdevelopment. Only 16 of 63 pilots made Goal on the first task and 18 made Goal on the competition’s last day. Still those who managed to cope with the unexpected wind behavior and tricky task routes can really be called experts. Though sometimes flying tactics meant more than speed. Dmitry Samigullin, 3d ranked in overall shares his impressions: “I liked the place very much. It allows to set various and beautiful tasks. Very good transport infrastructure. The general organization level was good too. Perhaps we took more precautions because of the weather. We were not lucky with it. Usually the weather is said to be more interesting. As during the final task.”
