Minnesota Soaring Achievement Contest
Announcing a new state-wide soaring contest: The
Minnesota
Soaring Achievement Contest (MSAC). This new year-long contest
is designed to create excitement and competition among both beginning
and experienced cross-country soaring pilots in our region, plus foster
and promote the development of advanced soaring skills. We've based the
MSAC on the current British Gliding Association's National Ladder
competition, a very successful *fun* competition in the UK. The
intention of both the BGA and the MSAC contest is to be a complete test
of pilot skills, which includes: Understanding weather, identifying
suitable task areas, understanding local topography and its soaring
potential, skill in glider handling and understanding cross-country
tactics. A premium is awarded for flying ambitious declared tasks, and
glider performance is handicapped, of course. Details are available
here.
Glider
Scales
A group of MN soaring pilots donated enough money to purchase a set
of very nice aircraft scales which are available for use by all MN
soaring pilots. For more information go
