The comp will be known as the DG Run. (Duramana - Georges Pl). Any glider will be eligible & handicaps will apply. There are no set start times or days - pilots can choose to fly the task whenever & as often as they wish. Pilots can form a team to fly a 2 seater. Students / early solo pilots can fly with an instructor or coach. (Solo pilots not rated for cross country or not approved for cross country from Pipers, must fly a two seater with an instructor or coach). The comp will run from 1st July – 30th Sep. The pilot / team with the best speed during the 3 months will be the winner.

(Note: the TP “Georges Plain bridge” is in the village - it is not the outlanding stepping stone)

Start height  minimum 5000’   Finish height – not more than 500’ below start height (ie a start at 6000’, must finish above 5500’). 

A penalty will apply for finisher's exceeding the 500' differential. Starts below 5000' will not be scored.

The start and finish line will be a 2Km line, centred on the clubhouse and at right angles to the first outbound & last inbound track. Start & Finisher's must cross the line, to be scored.

OLC approved loggers are required (the club has 4 Nano’s & the Junior & LS4 have S100's) –  flights must be uploaded to HERE and the scorer (John Jurotte) to be advised by email. 

From the IGC trace, the start, finish time & height, TP’s & time on task will be determined.

Speed will be calculated by 47.5/time to complete x h’cap. We’ll run a list of participant's speeds on the BSC web page.
