Competition News

Probably Andrea will lead a Swiss League Regio at Cimetta. More informations tonight. Final decision (latest) tomorrow morning 07:00 (I think we should do it tonight). Don't park at the cable car station Orsellina. It is much more recommended to use the small train (200m from the big train station of Locarno) to get up to the cable car station. Parking: Use the marked parkings: FFS Locarno (10 fr / day), near the hotel (Parcheggio Piazza Castello) or Piazza grande (Autosilo Largo Zorzi). Hotel (debriefing): www.hotel-dell-angelo.ch Rooms from 1 to 4 persons. Single: 70.- Double: 100.- Tripple: 140.- Four: 170.- With breakfast buffet.

Obviously there is more humidity as the prognosis from yesterday. Check: http://meteo.search.ch/cloud http://www.flugbasis.ch/index.php?id=64 Jura: Snowfall and cloud-coverage in the morning, bise in the lower layer, inversion with humidity at 1700m. I’m sure, single pilots will find a place to take off and to do some km, but it does not look taskable. Tessin: Probably taskable Saturday, but not Sunday. Our rules does not allow to go there for one possible (not sure) task only. Tessin Saturday: Cimetta is probably the place to go, if you like to fly some cross country. It is likely, that Andrea Voumard will make a „Minileague“ (Regio) or at least will be there and give some recommendations. I will upload all his informations here on the website, including his wpt files and maps.

CCC class Obviously Ozone Swiss is not able to deliver CCC-kits. Therefor you are allowed to fly with the EN version of your glider, even if theoretically a CCC version exist. This is valid until the manufacturers are able to deliver CCC-kits. Local regulations I am sick, heavy influenza, I was not able to work on the local regulations these days. But there are no changes affecting a single Swiss League Cup, therefor you can check the ones from 2014. The Swiss Sporting Rules are up to date. http://swiss-league.ch/League/GeneralInfo/Downloads/tabid/344/Default.aspx IMPORTANT: 1) you have to be registered perfectly on our website, because we will use only SMS registration on location. 2) We will use online upload of your track.

Alpennordseite und Jura: Freitags Schnee, auch im Jura, bis 800, kurz etwas höher. Aber dennoch, Thermikentwicklung dürfe massiv gestört sein. Samstag zudem Restbewölkung. Sonntag: Durchgang ausgeschlossen (Wind und Wolken) Micha Witschi und ich halten es für möglich, einen Task im Jura zu fliegen. Wegen dem Schnee werden die Bedingungen nicht wie gestern sein, aber immerhin. Tessin Samstag: Gefahr von Nordwind und nachher Retour d Est, aber schwach. Wahrscheinlich nach Auflösung der Restbewölkung ziemlich Sonnig und Thermik. Sonntag dürfe es wiederum einigermassen sonnig werden, allerdings mit vielen Fragezeichen. Es gibt eine Chance für zwei Tasks, an beiden Tagen aber Fragezeichen.
