Start and finish (closing point) must be within 1.5 km. Trap for young players
- that is horizontal AND vertical, i.e. can't start at 2,500 m and finish at
500 m above the same point. Rgds - Rolf

Hi Gary,
It comes down to the start and finish, outbound and inbound tracks; they have
to cross within (I think) 0.5km to close the triangle and therefore 'award' FAI
points. I had the same problem until Eddie Madden pointed out the solution.
Try using a standard start and finish line 1km long (0.5km radius) centred on
the same point to ensure the tracks cross. This will also give the best average
speed for the triangle.
Best regards,
Brian DuRieu

[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
