The new Sporting Code comes into effect today, 1 October, and the link below helps explain the differences.
Pam >> From: sy...@listserver.fai.org [mailto:sy...@listserver.fai.org] On Behalf Of 106025.2661 Sent: Thursday, 1 October 2015 2:07 AM To: igc-disc...@fai.org; igc-delega...@fai.org Subject: [igc-discuss] Sporting| Code and a summary Dear Friends, The Sporting Code Committee has created a one page summary intended to highlight the changes concerning Badges that are effective from 1st October 2015 in the Sporting Code Section 3 (Gliding) together with Annex C's interpretation. It is not intended to be a word-by-word comparison, rather an overview how the changes affects pilots, analysts and Approvals for FRs & PRs. This summary is available on the FAI/IGC website : http://www.fai.org/downloads/igc/BadgeRules2015 In the Sporting Code itself, with the deletion of the requirement for turn points to be a minimum of 10 km apart, it came to the committee’s attention that the need to declare each turn point for a task, even if it was to be revisited, could now be misinterpreted. Therefore, a new para SC3-1.4.3 has been added to the text. 1.4.3 Multiple use of way points A TURN POINT can have the same coordinates as the START or FINISH POINT, and if a TURN POINT is to be used twice it must be listed twice in the task declaration. Ross Macintyre Chairman IGC SC3 Committee.
