Competition tasks
ECONOMY: Pure DURATION
Task 11 ver3
Objective
With given a limited amount of fuel, competitors must: fly as long as
possible (in the defined airspace). Remember, flying is in G class, no airspace
is reserved for you, look carefully around!
Summary
Competitors will be given:
- A specified weight or volume of fuel; allowance: double seaters: 10kg,
single seater 8kg.
- The location of the airspace for duration
The task will start with a standard Deck Takeoff (north deck) according
to marshals signals.
Landing at airfield Włocławek Kruszyn on runway in use, no points for
landing. After completing the landing the competitor will be required to enter
a Quarantine area for checking (seals only). Crew can land with engine off, no
fuel limit to remain after landing. Open window for take off will be defined
and pulished.
Safety:
A proper look-out must be kept at all times. An aircraft joining another
in a thermal shall circle in the same direction as that established by the
first regardless of height separation.
Airspace:
There will be two given cylinders: small and
big. The small one covers the vicinity of airfield. It is 400meters above the
airfield and 1,6 km (radius) from ARP 52 35'05'' N 19 00' 56'' E,
the big one is 17,6 km radius from ARP. Maximum altitude to fly is
TIME of duration: time starts when leaving
small cylinder, time stops while reentering small cylinder first time.
Fuelling:
Scores
The following penalties will
apply:
- Takeoff deck penalty: 20%
- Breach of Quarantine: 100% (0 points)
- Flight outside given big cylinder: 100% (0 points)
- Outlanding: 100% (0 points)
- Duration scores will be divided
into one hour steps and scores shall accrue thus:
- 1 = 5
points/min
- 2 = 4
points/min
- 3 = 3
points/min
- 4 = 2
points/min
- 5 and
above = 1 point/min

The given course consists of few given lines –“Ladder”. From SP the
crews follow the first line until a ground letter marker feature is found. To
this point crews construct a line at 90 degrees from the next given line, as on picture, make
procedure turn and fly to the other side of the ladder, procedure turn again
and continue, repeating every time a feature is found. Every time make
procedure turn on new found turnpoint, 1 minute for that. This continues until
fly on the last ladder line, when letter marker is found, construct a straight
line to given TP8, fly direct, without procedure turn. From TP8 follow the
given known track, keeping declared ground speed! On known track will be timing gate as told on briefing, according to average speed.
Additionally there may be photo features and ground markers (not
letters) to spot on the whole task truck – These are not turnpoints, only the
letter features found on the given ladder lines are turnpoints.
For safety reasons, the entire course should be flown at a pre-declared
groundspeed. SP will be known timing gate, a number of additional unknown
timing gates will be on the course between TP8 and FP, according to declared
speed. After crossing FP crews must proceed directly back to the airfield using

POWERED PRECISION LANDING (after other task)
Objective:
The objective is for the aircraft to touch down within a marked deck, as
close to the start of
the deck as possible, and stop within the deck.
Summary:
This task simulates a landing on an aircraft carrier deck, the deck
being a deck 100 metres
long and 25 metres wide. The first 25-metre section of the deck is
divided into five 5 metre
strips which are scored from 250 to 50 points. The remainder of the deck
scores
25 points. In order to score the main wheels must touch down in a
particular strip and the
aircraft must come to a complete halt within the marked deck.
This task will end a prior task (navigation). Instructions for joining
the aerodrome circuit will be provided in the instructions for the prior task.
Remember to pass the final gate!
Landing
Once the aircraft has started its final approach no deviation of over 90
degrees from the deck
centerline either in the air or on the ground is permitted. The pilot
may choose whatever
engine setting he chooses or may switch off the engine. The aircraft
must come to a complete standstill and must not move until instructedto do so
by a marshal.
Scoring
The score will be the value of the strip in which both main wheels touch down.
The pilot will be scored zero if:
- Any part of the aircraft touches the ground before the deck
- The aircraft turns by more than 90 degrees from the deck centerline
between starting the
landing approach and coming to a standstill
- The aircraft does not stop within the limits of the deck.
- The aircraft moves from the deck before instructed to do so by a
marshal
- The aircraft is unable to taxi or take off unaided following the
touchdown although failure
to start the engine will not incur a penalty

ECONOMY: Area
Triangle and Speed
Objective:
With limited Fuel competitors must fly a triangular course with the
objectiveof creating a triangle of maximum possible area. The course of first
leg will be given – marked on the map, it will be a speed
leg, with points for fast speed. Second leg will be a speedleg, with
points for slow speed.
Description:
Starting procedure :
S , open window, take off from the north deck, according to marshalls signals
(white flag up, after correct line up).
Detail description:
The task will start and finish at the point SP/FP, which is defined as S
point (yellow bridge), it is a gate 500 meters wide. The other two turnpoints
will form the corners of the triangle which competitors may choose freely –
providing tracks will not infringe any no flyzones. These two free turnpoints
will be the points where the two consecutive sidesof the triangle intersect,
when a precision turn is performed, oothe new leg crosses the previous leg.
First track is given, it is a corridor, 500 meters wide.
On return FP might be crossed in
any direction, but the track legs has to cross
on FP to build the corner. The area within the triangle created by SP/FP and
the two free turnpoints will
be calculated to determine the triangle area score.The first leg will be
a fast speed leg. Timing will start at SP/FP and finish at theintersection of
the first two legs, before the start of the precision turn. The second leg with
points for slowest speed – time will start at theintersection of the first two
legs, after the precision turnand finish at theintersection of the last two
legs, before the start of the precision turn.The task MUST be flown Clockwise. Avoid turning too tightly as
this may encourage logger dropouts.
After crossing FP return to Wloclawek, using standard S arrival
procedure. Landing in deck, or if there is another traffic, parallel to the
decks, on runway heading in use, keep good lookout for another traffic!
After landing fuel remaining to check in quarantine must be not less than 2 liters.
Fuel allowance:
WL2, AL2, GL2 = 10Kg
WL1 AL1 = 8Kg
Scoring:
Competitors score = (competitors area/best area x400) + (competitor
speed/fastest speed x 300) +(competitor speed/slowest speed x 300)
Penalties:
As per generic Economy task penalties.
No fly zones:Competitors must avoid all controlled airspace, MATZ and no
fly zones.
Powered
precision landing with stopping distance, timed
Objective:
The objective is for the aircraft to touch down within a marked deck, as
close to the start of the deck aspossible, coming to a halt in as short
distance as possible, and touch down as close as possible to the full minute.
Time from take off to landing is tree minutes.
Summary:
This task simulates a landing on an aircraft carrier deck, the deck
being a deck 100 meters long and 25meters wide. The first 25-metre section of
the deck is divided into five 5 meter strips which are scored from 250 to 50
points as shown. The remainder of the deck scores 25 points. In order to score
the main wheels must touch down in a particular strip (PS) and the aircraft
must come to a complete halt within the 100-metredeck, as close to the start of
the deck as possible (PD) and as close to the full minute (PT). Additional
points will be scored if the scoring touchdown takes place at or near an exact
full minute as indicated by the competition clock, eg. 11:31:00 hrs is a full
minute, 11:31 17 hrs is not.
Joining
Take off
will be according starting list. Take off according marshal instruction (white
flag up), take off at full minute and flight duration 3 minutes. North aerodrome circuit.
Landing
Once the aircraft has started its final approach no deviation of over 90
degrees from the deck centerline either in the air or on the ground is
permitted. The pilot may choose whatever engine setting he chooses or may
switch off the engine. After landing the
aircraft must come to a complete standstill and switch off the engine and
must not move until instructed to do so by a marshal. The distance will be then
measured.
Scoring
The score will be the value of the strip in which both main wheels touch
down (PS) plus the distance
between the finish of the deck and the closest wheel, scored 1 point per
whole meter (PD) and plus points for timing (PT). Touching down on a dividing
line scores the higher of the two strips.
The pilot will be scored zero if:
- Any part of the aircraft touches the ground before the deck
- The aircraft turns by more than 90 degrees from the deck centerline
between starting the landing
approach and coming to a standstill
- The aircraft does not stop within the limits of the deck.
- The aircraft moves from the deck before instructed to do so by a
marshal
- The aircraft is unable to taxi or take off unaided following the
touchdown although failure to start theengine will not incur a penalty
Thus the score calculation will be (PS + PD+PT) x 250/450 with a maximum
score of 250
The penalty
for failing to take off within the deck will be 20% .
TASK 12 18.08
evening
SHORT
TAKEOFF OVER AN OBSTACLE
Objective:
The objective is for the aircraft to take off over and clear an
obstacle, starting the take off run
as close to the obstacle as possible.
Summary:
This task simulates a short field take off over a hedge, the hedge being
represented by a tape stretched across the runway 1 meter above the ground. The distance will be measured from the
center of the foremost wheel and rounded up to the nearest 0.1 meter. The
aircraft must the take off over the tape without breaking it.
Take off order will be as published. In sequence, the pilot may position
his aircraft as close to the tape, as he wishes and must not take off until
instructed by the marshal (white flag up and down).
Aerodrome pattern
Take off from north deck, left hand circuit (north), climb 1000 ft,
before first line of south deck engine must be switched off, descending circuit
right hand (south), landing on south deck.
Scoring:
The competitor in each class that starts the take off run closest to the
tape (DMIN) and clears
the tape without breaking it will score 250 points. Other competitors
will be awarded scores
based on their distance from the tape at the start of their takeoff run
(DP) relative to DMIN. The competitor will be scored zero if:
- The aircraft commences takeoff before stationary
- The aircraft commences takeoff before instructed to do so by the
marshal
- The aircraft fails to fly over the tape
- Any part of the aircraft breaks the tape
Thus the score calculation will be (250 x DMIN / DP) with a maximum
score of 250
