Early morning cloud burnt off to allow
launching to start soon after 1pm. With AAT tasks set for all pilots, this
allowed for possible weather variations and pilots to determine the length of
task they completed. The day turned out better than yesterday which allowed a
slightly larger area to play in.
Thermals started late, as they do when
there is complete cloud cover until about 10.30am, but picked up to a good 4-5 kts
in places. The resident convergence set up in the mid afternoon to allow most
pilots to complete the task including both PW5s. Unfortunately no data log was
obtainable for one PW5 but both started and finished close together.
The day was completed with a tasty BBQ
in the evening and everyone went to bed smiling except for the scorer Graham
White as his scoring program decided to call it a day and depart for the
discarded computer bits and pieces in the rings of Saturn!
Interim scores are at http://www.soaringspot.com/en_gb/central-districts-2016-waipukurau-aerodrome-2016/results/open/task-1-on-2016-02-14/daily but may change as other pilot files are scored.
Some pilot's flights cans also be seen on the OLC at http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/daily.html?st=olc&rt=olc&df=2016-02-14&sp=2016&c=NZ&sc
