April
Ushkonyr opens. Clean weak thermals, green steppe, cool air. The best month of the year for a first flight and a poor one for distance.

Two different kinds of number live in this table and we keep them apart on purpose. Expected is our operational judgement from running ground logistics in the Almaty region — it is an opinion, not a measurement. Observed is the count of days our own groups actually flew, filled in at the end of each season from the flight log and never overwritten by a deploy. Where Observed is empty, we have not logged that month yet and we are not going to invent it.

Send the dates you are in the country and we will come back with the slots that have the best chance of usable air. A person reads it and answers within one working day.
Or just get the season report
One email at the end of each season with the flyable days we actually logged, and one more if the SIV course opens. Nothing else, ever.
