Touch and Go

Total duration: 3 minutes.
Take off from the runway.
Within the three minute period touch and go on the spot landing target as many times as you can.
The spot landing will be taken from where the main wheels first touch the ground.
Points will be awarded for spot landings on the runway target in the ratio of 50 for centre and 30 for next circle 20 for next circle 10 for the outer circle and 0 points for anywhere else.
The aircraft must be in an airworthy condition after landing.
If any of the participants feel the aircraft is not in airworthy condition after the spot landing the pilot may be asked to fly again to prove its airworthiness within five minutes.
The only part that may be changed on the plane is a broken propeller.

Climb and Glide

Take off from the runway and climb to altitude for thirty seconds only.
The engine must then be cut to dead stick.
During your dead stick glide you will be asked to throttle up to prove you are dead stick.
From when the engine is cut to dead stick you will be timed to your spot landing back on the runway.
One point will be awarded for every second of glide.
Points can be gained for spot landings on the runway target in the ratio of 50 for centre and 30 for next circle 20 for next circle 10 for the outer circle and 0 points for anywhere else. But points for the most impressive missed landing may be awarded if the judges are suitably impressed!
The aircraft must be in an airworthy condition after landing.

Bombs Away!

A two man team is required for this one, pilot/bombardier.
A large petrol trainer flown on a buddy box system by the c.f.i chris peers will be used to drop a total of 8 bombs over two sorties on the langar circles on the runway..the highest score is the winner with both pilot and bombadier getting 10 points and the other placings as normal down to 10th place..

The buddy box system will be supplied to the guest pilot on BOTH MODES 1 and 2.
The bombardier will also use a separate tx supplied to drop the bombs..

All take offs and landings are done by the CFI so no need to worry about this aspect of the mission.
All bombing to be done straight and level..
NO STUKA TACTICS ALLOWED!!!

As a added incentive to compete the events officer will have is tin hat on and will be in the circles recording the scores as the bombs land....

The bombs used are slec ones filled with powder that explode on impact ,dave may go home a little bit white after this one...!!!
