Hi Garry,
There is an olc requirement I believe to close the triangle, i.e. cross your start point when finishing the flight. If you start out of a 1km beer can or even a line orientated say on the wind sock as we do at Waikerie then you finish on a straight in approach (safe and fun) you may not cross over your outgoing leg therefore you fail to "close" the triangle. We used olc scoring at Orange week a couple of years ago and learnt all about this. Regards Grant.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] OLC triangles Hi All, On several flights I have done a flight that seems (by inspection), to includes a nice (FAI), triangle, and indeed shows up on the SeeYou site as a substantial - say 200 - 400 km - FAI triangle, and yet the OLC site manages to find a max FAI triangle of about 6 km or so for this very same flight! Am I missing something here? Can anybody explain the mechanics of this to me? Is there a glitch on the OLC site? Gary
