Tom,
What point are you trying to make re start points?
My understanding is that the local rules say indeed, that a selection from (not
all), the old start points as listed in the nominated database will be the ones
used for this contest.Do you have a problem with that?
Cheers,
Gary

There is no airspace of concern in the task area?
Start points in the turnpoint file are the old ones.

Hi Chris
The airspace file was provided to the organizers by a highly experienced
competition pilot and the CD felt that the turnpoint file developed by Miles
Gore-Brown previously gave the task setters a whole lot of flexibility to set
tasks according to the weather variables. There are no real airspace issues
tasking out of Narromine so it wasn’t felt necessary to assign a “playing
field” as such in the airspace file but rather to provide a file that
identified all the CTAFR and Danger Area airspace restrictions that are present
locally and are generally only activated by NOTAM. There is really no
Restricted Airspace in the realistic task areas out of Narromine. I have
personally uploaded the airspace file to my iPaq running Winpilot and have
found no problem with it at all.
I am left wondering what your issue is in real terms.
Regards, ROSS

Narromine Nationals Competitors,
The Narromine Nationals web site has links to the turnpoint and airspace
files (see below) which from my point of view have issues
a.. For those WinPilot users there are issues with the official airspace
file because it is too large. It looks like it covers the whole continent.
b.. The official turnpoint file looks like one Miles put together for
record flying out of Narromine many years ago. From my point of view it is not
suitable in its current form.
The joeyglide 2010 airspace and turnpoint files for Narromine look much
better.
