Another Day another Chance

Good Morning Canada

It is a sunny day here in Szeged but there is a strong breeze from the south. At 11:30 there is no sign of convection around the airport, although there are some cu showing in the distance in the north. Grid time is 11:45 with a possible first launch at 12:00 noon. All our pilots and crews are out at the grid ready to go. The forecast is calling for a few cu with a base of 1000 - 1500 meters, going up to 1500 - 2000 meters in the peak hours of the afternoon (14:30 - 15:30).

Task A for all classes are assigned tasks with 356 km for Open, 353 km for 18m and 304 km for 15m. Open Class and 18m Class are to launch first, 15m following.

There was a gaggling problem yesterday, so they set very different tasks for Open and 18m today to spread out the field.

There is also a new finish procedure with a 3 km finish circle and a minimum height in response to the terrible accident yesterday.
