Dear FCC Gliding participants 2019,
Unfortunately, after the modernization and construction of an asphalt runway, Prievidza Airport is not fully prepared for competition.
It is dry and cold weather, so grass does not grow in damaged areas around the new runway, there is only clay everywhere.
Due to this serious situation, we had meeting over the weekend with safety committee.
We are working hard to keep the competition running, but we need to take measures to maintain safety first. Therefore, the following measures have been taken:
The maximum number of competitors will be reduced to 100 competitors.
The glider stand will be shortened, so the whole club class must be put in a transport trailer every day.
Each competitor must have his own towing rope for an air-tow.
Each competitor is responsible for removing his glider from the runway within 10 minutes of landing.
Movement of vehicles in all airport area will be restricted and only possible through official passages.
Information on further procedures will be presented at the initial safety briefing.
If necessary, contact the Race Director Mr. Jozef Horňák (jozef.hornak56@gmail.com).
Thank you for understanding.
