Riesterer Short Course, Caitlin 100 km & Valley 150km tasks
PGC has three club tasks administered through the Proving Grounds system
Les Riesterer Short Course, 24.6km, Start below 3000 ft, Finish Above 2000 ft
Caitlin, 104.2km, Start below 4000ft, Finish Above 1000 ft.
Valley, 155.0km, Start below 4000 ft, Finish Above 1000 ft.
All start, finish and turnpoints are cylinder with 0.5km radius.
Tasks can be flown clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
Your flight is automatically scored by emailing your .igc trace to:
piako@soaringtasks.com
A summary of completed tasks is immediately emailed back.
Declarations and certified loggers are not required. Any .igc file will do, but make sure it has your name and glider type in the file.
Handicaps used by Proving Grounds are different to those commonly used in NZ for contests. Email piako@soaringtasks.com with the word "handicap" in the subject line to get a current list of handicaps in use.
The fastest flights are recorded on slips, magnetized to the task boards, and ordered from fastest to slowest - top to bottom. Adjust the slips to maintain this ranking as required. Complete a slip with this information:
Pilot Name(s)
A/C & Reg
Date
Handicapped Avg Speed
For a new, faster flown task once the board is full, wipe the slowest slip clear to make it available. Complete it and place it back on the task board in order - fastest on the top.
If the task fails the test by email, but is proven good on SeeYou, an OO can sign the slip with a validated time. Please share constructive feedback, or your experience with the platform through soaringtasks.com.
To retrieve a file including turnpoints and tasks for the club’s Proving Ground, send an email to the address above with the word “task” anywhere in the subject. The club Proving Ground .cup file will be promptly delivered as an attachment to the requesting email address.
