FAI past 'code sportief' aan

[Jan Ritsma]

De FAI heeft sectie 3 van de code sportief aangepast. De veranderingen zijn:

Badge and Record Rules

The following changes were made to the main section of Sporting Code Section 3:

Only the Start Line will be used (no more OZ starts).
Barographs will no longer be used at all.
The 10 km Turn Point separation rule has been deleted.
A Silver Distance claim will require a fix at least 50 km from home.
The World Class record category is replaced by the 13.5 Metre Class record category.

Competition Rules

These changes were made to Sporting Code Section 3, Annex A:

The Finish must stay open until sunset.
Club Class handicaps will be adjusted for very lightweight pilots.
For scoring, the optimum (not necessarily last) Start will be used.
The distinction between primary and backup Flight Recorder is deleted.

And these proposals will return for voting next year:

Increased maximum takeoff mass in the 20 Metre Multiseat Class
Devaluation of “distance” days
Changes to Team Cup calculation
Legibility of Contest ID on gliders
