Probably the same rocket scientists who brought you the second
signature after rigging, Ron.
1000 feet and 10 km is 33:1. Given that task setters seem to like
headwind final glides and you and I have both experienced final
glides with 30 knots or greater headwinds it seems you may get a
significant number of land outs after finishing as even a 50 : 1
glider may have trouble under these conditions. Of course you want to
do a circuit also don't you?

Adam,
I would have thought that 5 K at 500 ft gave sufficient margin for
safety. This seemed to me to do away with the worm burner final
glides, which we all used to do. Very exciting, certainly, but now
upon more mature reflection, were bloody dangerous. I would be
interested in seeing the rationale for increasing the radius to 10
K. Then I will be prepared to give a considered opinion.

Heard on the grapevine that we might be in for some new finish ring rules...
10km finish ring;
Min finish height @ Multi-Class: 1000'
Min finish height @ Club Class: 1200'
What do you think? Discuss.
Cheers,
