John T - it really is crap. Surely several 300km flights would out weigh the 5hr requirement. Can remember doing 8 3/4 hrs in a skylark4 trying for my 500km so come 2days before comps and try for 500km . The important thing is in a state comps you are not going to get shot down day after day. I would suggest you put in a case and ask the powers that be.
Actually I can tell you there are several pilots in comps that have not claimed badges yet are flying comps regularly. I best not name them. Just get a comp licence - it means nothing but makes you look good Why does the GFA system totally ignore your airforce experience and airforce really learn lookout unlike many glider pilots unfortunately. I hate this sort of crap. I will see you there John OK Ian McPhee On 11 September 2013 10:12, Tim Shirley <[email protected]> wrote: > Rules (and local rules) for State Competitions are set by State > Associations.**** > > ** ** > > It has been usual for State Associations in recent times to adopt > Nationals Rules, but to make some local rules in regard to things like > entry requirements so as to allow less experienced pilots to enter.**** > > ** ** > > It’s the F in the GFA……**** > > ** ** > > J**** > > ** ** > > Cheers**** > > ** ** > > *Tim* > > *Tra dire e fare c’è mezzo il mare* > > ** ** > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Trezise > *Sent:* Wednesday, 11 September 2013 09:36 > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [Aus-soaring] State Comp Required Pilot Qualifications**** > > ** ** > > Can anyone tell me why the pilot qualifications for State Championships > are different between Queensland and NSW ?
