Rules

 

We fly according to the PWCA Competition Rules 2015.

- FTV: Yes, we will use FTV to get a discard! The FTV “reject rate” is set to 20%.

- Proposed GAP-Parameters are: Min. dist: 7 km, nom. dist: 70 km, nom. time: 1:40, nom. goal: 30%, nom. takeoff: 95%

In case of undefined problems, we will use common sense, the CIVL Section 7 or the General Section to solve the problem !

Important:
If there are any doubts, ask before the end of the briefing or at least prior the start of a task. We will not cancel a task or disqualify a major part of pilots because of unclear or undefined rules.
