It seems a bit odd to be raising a concern on aus-soaring that is
specific to one competition . The only people who can do anything about
it (should anything need to be done about it) are the CD or perhaps
other officials of the competition, who may or may not read this
forum. The relevant files are referenced in the local rules of the
event and so can only be changed by officials. It isn't a democracy.
Can I suggest it be taken off-list and directly with them?
Cheers

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
* 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.
* 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.

<http://www.narromineglidingclub.com.au/Narromine50/MultiClass2012.html>
are fully functional.
The rules, handicaps, turnpoints, airspace files are all on the site
and are available for download.
The website has the facility to upload your log files directly to the
scorer from your web browser and you can check the scores online with
a single click.
The weather page is comprehensive and apart from the daily met
briefing each day provided by the competition organizers you will be
able to do your own forecasting well ahead of time.
If you want to follow the progress of the pilots during the task each
day you will be able to track them with the SPOT device directly from
the website.
If you haven't registered for the competition yet there are still a
few places available and you will be very welcome to join the fun. You
can download the entry form from the website and email it back to the
comp organizers.
It promises to be a great Comp! We hope you enjoy it and have fun.
ROSS
