A telegram link will be published about a week before the event. All communication will take place via this chat group. E.g. also early weather reports, details about the meeting point, task, etc.
Meeting point
The pilot must arrive at the meeting point at the latest 5 minutes after the official time. Pilots arriving late are not entitled to a free ride up and are responsible for their own meteo and task information! The entry fee must still be paid!
Check-In and Report back with SMS-Safety-System
Check-In: Befor every task all pilots have to register by sending an SMS "para start sl" to +41 79 381 60 10. Pilots who are not registered cannot be scored (also for technical reasons)!
Report Back: Immediately after landing, the pilot must report back by sending an SMS "para stop" to +41 79 381 60 10. The pilot is liable for search actions due to missed report back (plus dinner for searcher...). In case of repetition, the pilot will be disqualified.
Report Back can also be done in the Task App.
Waypoint-files
Waypoint files are published on the website and must be uploaded to the GPS by the pilot. Normally there is no help to upload the files in to the GPS.
Livetracking
Each pilot receives a tracker, which he must operate himself and install appropriately. If, exceptionally, there are too few trackers, individual pilots are defined who have own trackers or/and can set up live tracking themselves.
Tracker-Return conditions (if you don't return it on location):
In any case, you will be charged 10.-, or 20.- if sent too late.
- you have to send it by priority post on the first working day after the event
- in a padded envelope or cardboard
- correctly stamped for priority-post
If you do not do this, you will be fully liable for the new price of the tracker.
GPS
The evaluation of flights will be done using GPS tracks from the Lietrackers. Each pilot is responsible for his backup and must be able to send a valid igc to the organiser.
Radio
We communicate in the air with PMR radios. It is mandatory for Swiss pilots, and also highly recommended, to have one with you. The default channel is:
Chanel 7.38 (446.08125 / CTCC250.3).
A 2 m frequency is listened to.
Map
A map of the flying site with waypoints will be handed out to all pilots.
Air navigation obstacles: https://map.geo.admin.ch Lufthindernisse
Glider chart: https://map.geo.admin.ch Segelflugkarte
The public-law regulations apply, in particular the aviation and hang gliding regulations as well as local agreements. It is the pilot's responsibility to load the files on his flight instrument and to comply with the regulations.
If nothing else is specified at the briefing:
The scoring Categories are:
- Overall
- Female
- Sport (up to EN-C. The sports class is evaluated separately, so it is not an extract from the overall ranking)
- Juniors (<26)
Rules
The order of interpretation of the rules is: Briefing, Local Regulations, Swiss Sporting Regulations, PWC, CIVL. When in doubt, use common sense. Link to all these rules.
CIVL-ID
It is mandatory for all pilots to be registered in civlcomps.org so they have a CIVL ID and can get WPRS-Points.
If you do not know your CIVL ID:
1) Search here https://civlcomps.org/rankings ("Search by name or CIVL ID" right below "Paragliding").
2) If you don't have one yet:
Create a new profile at https://civlcomps.org/sign-in, then click on the link "Registration".
