Ross,
Your got it in one; SPOTs were not designed to provide position
reporting at the intervals that would
make tracking competitions a media event. That will come, in fact they
already exist, but they are much more
expensive.
That said SPOT's do provide competition organisers

There'll be US$60k up for grabs at Oshkosh for electric-powered

It's going to be fascinating to see how this develops over the next

Dunno Ron - but you can read then ON the Internet!
The AIP is reached from the Airservices web site
www.airservicesaustralia.com - go to pilot briefing then documents
and accept the conditions. This also has ERSA and DAP plus some pilot guides.
The CAR, CASR, CAO, CAAPS and ACs are all found
Mike
Each of those chapter headings is a link to the relevant chapter -
click on it and the full page appears!
Magic!

Brilliant - this is only available if you are running Internet Explorer.
So those of us with a Mac have no access to the AIP on-line.

Ideally, you can download the entire thing. I tried getting ERSA as
one single PDF but could not find it on the Air Services site some
months ago. In the end I got it off some other pilot's
No I didn't, and all I get is the same :(
I'm sure I've read the AIP online before, perhaps they have 'fixed' it

North At Last!
The Day 4 task set for the Australian Grand Prix at Lake Keepit is much more
of a "classic Lake Keepit task".
Tracking to the North along the Western side of the Nandewar Range well past
Mt Kaputar to Bellata, then East across the low end of the hills to Bingara,
then turning
As another option, I use the app I've supplied a link for below, and I consider
it highly useful as a mechanism for electronic access to AIP's, ERSA, DAPs, and
(real soon now) the entire Australian map set (VTC, VNC, ERC's etc).
Compared to the paper versions (and the cost for a paper version up
Hi Ross,
I see that the points of Keepit, Rangari and Bellata are almost in line. Is
there a reason for this, and which side of Rangari are pilots deemed to have
successfully rounded the point? Obviously flying through the beer can would be
sufficient, however if it is almost a straight line,
Perhaps (as the scorer) I can answer.
The point Rangari is a bonus point waypoint. The first pilot to reach it
gets an extra scoring point.
The observation zone at waypoints is a 500m radius circle so pilots only
have to pass within 500m (in any direction) to make it.
Cheers

That is why when we built http://track.glidingmaps.com/ we built in p
They must pass within a 500m radius of the turn point, so it is a 1km
diameter and anywhere within that circle counts as having rounded the
turnpoint.

We are down to the wire on todays task and it is literally neck and neck
down the last leg. Currently looks like Hank Kauffman is leading but with
Graham Parker very close behind, followed in close company by Tom Claffey,
Bruce Taylor and David Jansen. Could still be anybodys race at this point.
