Polish & Lithuanian Open day 4

Another great day in Tolmin with a 79 km task. Hight cloudbase allowed the pilots to fly the route really fast, with the first pilot, Przemek Licznerski flying a DUDEK Coden, reaching the goal line within 2 hours and 7 minutes (average speed of almost 35 kph. At 18:10 the task was stopped due to a storm cloud developing over Kobarid. All pilots landed safely in Tolmin. Though the task was stopped, still 100 pilots managed to reach goal, with another 3 reaching ESS. After yesterday’s penalties for infringing the airspace today nobody flew too high (well, actually one pilot was 1 m too high and received a 2% penalty).

Tomorrow we are going to Lijak, where we might have more chances to fly a task.

Polish & Lithuanian Open day 2

It’s been a long day with some pilots spending almost 7 hours in the air. We had an 86 km task between Tolmin-Stol_tolmin-Polovnik and Tolmin again. The fastest in goal was Marek Robel (Niviuk Icepeak 7 Pro) right in front of Primoz Susa and Klaudia (Niviuk Icepeak 7 Pro) was the best girl. 81 pilots got to goal and a few more reached ESS. It looks like the good weather is here to stay, so we might expect some interesting tasks in the next two days.

Turnpoint files

We are publishing files with turnpoints that we’ll be using during the comp. They are the standard TPs used at comps in the Soca Valley and Lijak area. Remember to delete any old turnpoints that you might have in your GPS, as they will get mixed with the new ones.

It is stated very clearly in the following Safety Directive issued by the Slovenian Civil Aviation Authority: Czytaj dalej
