At the end, the weather was fine and our competitors finished another successful task. This time it was a racing task with turn points at "Kubinska Hoľa", "Bobrovec" (near lake Liptovska Mara), "Veľká lúka" (well-known ski resort close to city Martin) and then back to airfield Prievidza. For a better understanding where they was we have prepared a shor simulation.
Both classes have started. 15m at 12:50 and combi class at 13:12. And we can see the promised clouds from west are coming already...
Starts was at 12:00. There is a competition for 15m class and combined class only. On the briefing pilots gets new, modified tasks. One of the changes is, that the landings will be on runway 220 so there will be a nice view to landing gliders directly from our restaurant. If you are somewhere close to Prievidza, come here to see it! You'll like it! I promise! ;)
According to predicted weather development, today we will try to make starts early. In the afternoon after 3PM we expect frontal clouds from west, so we would like to have all competitors back before that time. Le's go for start! ;)
Today's morning is so far the warmest of all during our competition. Already now we have over 15°C and more than 77% of humidity. Also we can already see some first cumulus clouds, what is really unusually early!
Good morning. Grid will be on runway 220.
