Music in the score!
The transgressions of Saturday are much lamented, as ZS-ANON (a participant) notes:
Who can escape the beady eye
Of the GPS in the sky?
A minute or two and a touch too high
Is enough to make a big man cry.
But truth be out, there is no doubt,
It never fails to catch you out !
And don't forget the other part . . .
Make real sure you cross the start!
And as a number of competitors noted from the scores, the music was in too high a key. Lets hope that next time we wax lyrical it will be to celebrate!
But there is music here, and if you take the time it to absorb it, you'll find the harmony of flying with knowledge and skill. Where is it I here you ask? Get Martin and Hubert's trace of Saturday and play it in 3D (unfortunately without sound effects!).
Also note from the verified scores that we, er, "found" a competitor. Ian Forbes mentioned on Saturday that he might do his best to get disqualified by climbing in the wave into the TMA, but didn't, and was then a little tardy submitting his trace for provisional scoring. But, "Welcome!" Ian - here's hoping your Gauntleteering is long and profitable!
And, the scores are likely to stay "verified" for some time while Mr Farrell takes his logger for calibration - I hope it doesn't get a clean bill of health (and he'll get his points back)!
Please try to make briefing at 09h30 on 5th August and we will explain how to avoid these airspace problems (QNH vs Standard Pressure, when, why and where).
And, with your co-operation, you will learn something you will NEVER be able to forget!
Can you handle it?
