John, do a 500km flight; 5 hours guaranteed unless you pick one of those mind blowing memorable days we all dream of.

Re: [Aus-soaring] State Comp Required Pilot Qualifications
Rules (and local rules) for State Competitions are set by State Associations. It has been usual for State Associations in recent times to adopt Nationals Rules, but to make some local rules in regard to things like entry requirements so as to allow less experienced pilots to enter.

[Aus-soaring] State Comp Required Pilot Qualifications
Can anyone tell me why the pilot qualifications for State Championships are different between Queensland and NSW ? Some of the differences are pretty minor, but is there any reason they should not be the same ? Issues: Qld: 20 hrs solo vs NSW: 25 hrs solo. Qld Silver C distance vs NSW Silver C plus one 300km flight. Qld 10 aerotows vs NSW no requirement. Can't see any significant differences between Warwick and Lake Keepit which would justify different requirements for each site. Personally, it's the second one which causes me a problem because, although I have done a number of 300km plus flights, total time has not exceeded 5 hours, and I see little point in just hanging around for 5 hours to get a boy scout badge.

Peter, I used to stock them on behalf of the GFA. About two years ago the GFA donated the remaining stock to the Air Force Cadets.
