1.1 Programme derivation
Madeira SOTA is an extension of similar programmes already active in other countries. The initial list of summits was generated by Jim G0CQK from SRTM data.
The summit database is likely to be complete. But if you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-CT3, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Activators are asked to submit details of proposed additional summits to the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager.

1.2 General information
There are three regions in the Madeira Association.
To qualify as a SOTA summit it has to meet the following requirements:
● The summit must be elevated at least 150 m from it’s surroundings ● In the case of doubt the SOTA Management Team will decide whether the summit will be added to the list.
The summit database does not claim to be complete and can only be changed by the acceptance of the SOTA management team. Summits cannot be counted for points until a launch date and individual reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager and approved by the SOTA Management Team.
1.3 Rights of way and access issues
Footpaths in Madeira are usually well marked. However, you should take a good map of the region where you wish to hike plus GPS and/or compass if you have one. Never hike without a map, always follow the footpath. The SOTA Management team do not know anything about summits that are private property. If you find one, you will need the owner's permission before making access. If you do not have the owner’s permission to access the attempted activation it will be judged invalid and will not count for scoring.
This specifically applied to Ilhas Desertas. The islands are protected by Portuguese law as a nature reserve, comprising habitats important for the conservation of biodiversity. Approach with 100 m without special permission is forbidden. Access permission may be difficult to obtain.

1.4 Maps and navigation
The easiest way to obtain a map is to buy one in the city or village which is closest to the summit.
Madeira Tour and Trail Walking map is a 1:40000 scale map available from Amazon. Military maps of Madeira at 1:25000 and 1:50000 scale are available. Best maps are printed by http://www.igeoe.pt/ but not exclusively.
1.5 Safety considerations
Before hiking always ask for weather forecast, check it i.e. on http://www.meteo.pt/pt/ Please remember, that weather in the mountains can change rapidly and you should be always prepared both for rain, strong wind, dense mist or intensive sun, especially over 1000 meters a.s.l.

1.7 Awards
There are no Association-specific awards at the moment.
1.8 Disclaimer
Hiking, hill-walking and rock-climbing are potentially dangerous activities. The SOTA Management Team and their associates assume no responsibility for accidents. Each participant does so at his or her own risk, and must decide, on the basis of their own ability, whether an objective is achievable. The listing of a summit in the reference does not mean that it is easy to reach, and it is always worth seeking local advice for all but the simplest of expeditions.
