South African Nationals 2011

Afrique du Sud,   10 décembre 2011 – 22 décembre 2011

Sun. 11th December – 1st Contest Day

Sun. 11th December – 1st Contest Day
 
A good pilots’ briefing was followed by supper held last evening.  Unfortunately the rain continued well into the evening.  As there were only three pilots to fly in the 15m. class, two have decided to move into the club class whilst the other pilot opted to join the Open/18m. class.


So after the rains of yesterday, waking up this morning to blue skies and sunshine and clear visibility was certainly quite a pleasurable surprise.  As the morning progressed so did the development of clouds, but Sven advised us that he did not believe there would be overdevelopment, and he has been correct.  As the day has passed, so have many of the clouds and it is now less clouds and the pilots are away on a 3 hr. AAT.  

Cloudbase was expected to be between 10 000 – 12 000 ft. with expected 2.5 m/sec and westerly winds.

Club class:  214.4 km./392.6 km.  - R19 (20 km. radius) – Bloemhof (20 km. radius) – Schuttesdraai (20 km. radius) – Control NW

Open/18m.:   225.0 km./461.5 km.  - R19 (20 km. radius) – Bloemhof (30 km. radius) – Mirage (30 km. radius) – Control NW

Runway 25 to be used and gliders were to be on the grid by 11 a.m.  A good number of gliders were not on the grid on time, but first launch was well after midday, so there were no problems.
