The
weather for the June Competition could
only be described as atrocious!
The windsock was horizontal every time
I saw it, the rain showers were from
slight to very heavy, the cloud base
was too low for aerobatics, and it was
as cold as charity!!
Only eight starters turned up for the
displaced comp (displaced by the long
weekend).
| The
competition was as follows: |
- Normal circuit, turn crosswind at 400ft, be at 1030ft
at Sparks Rd. Downwind, 650ft
end base at 75knots, 60 knots over Sparks Rd., flare point, the
displaced runway marker, main wheel landing.
- Touch and go into a
flapless approach with same
circuit criteria downwind,
70 knots from mid base to over Sparks Rd, same flare point as before,
main wheel landing.
- Same circuit, glide approach, 10 degrees of
flap on base, full flap over
Sparks Rd, same flare point.
- Touch
and go, raise flap while on
ground, loose points for balance ball one diameter off
centre.
