Hi all,
The National Championships rules include a clear prohibition of the use
of blind flying instruments, and of cloud flying - and a statement that
flight recorder evidence may be used to confirm any violations.
Now, how does one fairly enforce a "no cloud flying" rule? Firstly, by

Macca,
Current Nationals Rules (which in this area are consistent with World
Comps) specify an outlanding at the point of the offence for the first
airspace violation, zero for the day on the second offence, and
disqualification from the event for the third. Both the Queensland and
NSW rules appe
G29 is a "good thing". It was
only suggested that those same pilots would probably have done equally
well in other equipment.

Hi all,
Some of you may remember that I did this exercise for the May emails. I
was overseas for much of June and July - Italy generally, and Rieti in
particular, are great places to visit! This is the first month since
May where I have had complete enough data to try again.
What a tough choice.
I can fly around in a 60:1 glider looking at retro instruments, or I can
fly around looking at the best instruments in an aircraft that wouldn't
have won a gliding competition this side of 1960.
That's a really difficult decision. Just ask Tomas Suchanek or Allan

The IPAQ will be fine for navigation - knowing where you are and where
you are going - but use an IGC approved logger if you want to prove

It's probably worth mentioning another little problem, which is nowhere

Currently, all IGC approved flight recorders measure Engine Noise Level
