Flying site

Rokh flying site is located 70 km from Isfahan historic city and at eastern side of Central Zagros mountain chain. Due to its unique geography the site allows to set altitude records of up to 6500 m ASL.
Zagros mountain chain is located in the West and South-West of Iran, This chain starts from Van-Lake and ends at Persian Gulf. It is about 1500 km long. Its highest peak - Dena - is 4049 m ASL. This part of Zagros mountains has ranges with short uneven peaks of about 800 m AGL surrounded by Central Iran flat lands with lots of roads between. The neighbouring of these dry and deserted lands originates in strong thermals giving lifts of uncomparable altitude of 4500 AGL. Please note that the basic altitude of flatlands in this area is about 2000 m ASL. The peaks make no problems for the pilots as the thermal lift here allow to fly rather high, on the contrary they show exactly the thermal triggers points.
Zagros mountains can be divided into three areas: Northern, Central and Southern. Yearly precipitation in this area varies from 10” on flat lands to 20” on peaks. The Northern area is more damp with lots of fertile flatlands but as we go more to the South the climate becomes drier. One can see several single mountains and sand hills in deserted areas of central and SE part of Zagros Chain.

Distance flying is possible almost all year round but one can expect high thermal activity in spring and summer as always. And the high flying season lasts from May to September. The thermal strength in spring is about 6 m/s, in summer - 5 m/s. In autumn and in winter its only about 3 and 2 m/s respectively.
Because of the good road network beneath the pilots have no restrictions at all and are free to fly in all directions. All you need is 3500 m altitude and you are good to go on your XC flight! Also in the mountains there are several small towns and villages without restricted air spaces and lots of roads connecting them - they let you choose your destination without being afraid to loose in middle of nowhere.

There are two grounds with N and S exposure for take off so flying is possible in all season and almost in all winds. The start grounds elevation is 650 m AGL. Distance flying is possible throughout the whole year. Local pilots have flown a 80 km XC flight right in the middle of the winter! Though average XC flights made from there are about 100 km. The best hour for a launch in spring and summer is about 11:30 am local time. In summer thermal activity lasts till 7 p.m. while in spring it finishes one hour earlier. In winter we have the shortest flying day up to 4 p.m. But in autumn it ends about 5 p.m.

In this place we have a number of XC records set:
Free flight: 276 km (Best Asian record) - in May 2012. It is also the longest flight made from Rokh take off. http://www.xcontest.org/2012/world/en/flights/detail:mom128/21.5.2012/06:25
