EVENTS Paragliding Competition Committee Write Up

Today’s the last day of the Competition year!

We’ve had more competitions this year than in previous as more members have stepped forward to host. Besides the grand and excellent ‘NZ Nationals’ organized and hosted by Pete Allison and Lyn Watkins from Mapua there have been two Auckland regionals ( Johnny Hopper), the Southern Fun (Tim Brown), Hawkes Bay (Aaron Chesterman), our first ‘Wanaka Hike and Fly’ (Kinga Masztalerz) and the ‘AcroFest” on Lake Cromwell (Ben Kellett and Blake Round).

Thank you to all those members and to their friends and colleagues who have supported them by either organizing or participating.

A special ‘thank-you’ to the Mapua Leisure Park for welcoming and accommodating us all at the ‘Nationals’.

The PCC also wishes to sincerely thank Pete Allison and Lyn Watkins for organizing and hosting the NZ Nationals this year. It’s a lot of work, and, though the weather wasn’t quite what we had hoped, the Competition was well organized and a lot of fun for those tasks that we did manage to complete. It’s always great to catch up with the paragliding competition fraternity each year and especially so when they are located centrally such as we were at the Mapua Leisure Park. We hope too that Pete and Lyn had time to step aside, enjoy the ‘ride’ and learn some new skills.

At the Nationals each year, the PCC is elected by the members for the next year and this year we welcome Nina Harrap to the fold as Toni Skerrett (who lives in Australia) has stepped down. The Committee now is Tim Brown, Dave Washer and Nina Harrap. Thank you Nina for stepping forward. We look forward to working with you and to your new inputs.

At the Nationals I happened to receive a text from Toni who said that Dave Gibbs (who organizes several Australian competitions) has indicated that he may be prepared to organize a New Zealand Nationals in Corryong in 2022. A vote was put to those present in Mapua and it seemed to be well accepted so we have written to Dave and asked that he consider such an event. For those that haven’t flown Corryong it is an exceptional place to fly. This year they flew 5 x 60km+ tasks in 5 days before the Corryong Cup was cancelled due to Covid. Corryong is a small rural town on the Murray River east of Albury and not too far north of Bright. The type of flying is somewhere between Manilla and Bright and for many of us who have flown those sites Corryong offers the best xc flying in Australia.

Let’s see where this offer goes.

In the meantime members, please consider stepping forward once again to organize and host regional competitions (and other) in 2022. The PCC will do their best to support and assist in the organization. Liability and Insurance has been greatly streamlined and tidied up this year. Don’t be daunted! It may be that Dave Gibbs is unable to organize a NZ event so please also consider hosting a PG Open competition.

The World Championship to be held in France in May has been cancelled due to Covid but a sort of replacement has been applied for in November in Argentina. Not sure what will happen there. For those eligible and interested keep in touch with the PCC for updates.

As the XC competition year is closing it looks like Louis Tapper has once again taken out the XC Championship. Well done Louis and well done to those many other pilots that have done some excellent flights this season, notably, Clemence Cadario, who flew a 94.1 km flight from near Queenstown to Makarora, in February, to break the New Zealand womens distance record.

Just this morning, I received an email bringing our attention to the fact that pilots are submitting flight to XContest which are essentially illegal as those pilots have infringed airspace. Please do not submit flights to a public forum if they are illegal. There is an ‘airspace checker’ that can be downloaded on the NZHGPA website. If you don’t know how to use it ask Ross Gallagher or one of the Committee members.

With the quieter winter season approaching the PCC will sit down and review some of the processes and Rules with regard to some issues that arose at the Nationals this year. Keep an eye out on the NZHGPA website as the new flying season approaches towards the end of the year for a new version.

Thank you all for your support and feedback throughout the past year.

It’s been fun. - Tim Brown, PCC

in celebration of landowners

By Kyla MacDonald

Flying is more than just a hobby for many of us. Rather it’s a lifestyle – many of our friends are pilots, our holidays are spent flying, every spare moment (and dollar!) is absorbed by flying, buying new equipment, or researching the next great wing or site.

A lot of the joy we get from this lifestyle is dependent on good relationships with landowners.

When I landed out a few years ago in Queensland and the startled landowner shouted “how would you feel if someone landed on YOUR property?!!”, I held back from telling him about my lifestyle block, and how I dream of pilots landing there as we often use it as goal for Auckland comps.

Instead I reminded myself that not everyone is thrilled with strangers dropping in on them unannounced, so I apologised, had a chat and did my best to win him over.

Getting involved in land and site issues recently, and having been to quite a few events this year, I’ve seen what a difference it can make when we take the time to visit and talk with our landowners.

We’ve managed to turn around one relationship in Auckland, where we lost access to a prime inland site for a season through a combination of lack of contact (no Christmas gifts!), carelessness with gates, and incorrect assumptions about who owned the land. Acknowledging landowner concerns and showing appreciation and respect has turned that around. And it’s been a real lesson for us to stay on top of our relationships.

Contacting the property owners and farm site managers before events is really important too. It’s one thing having a carload of mates crossing a property, but quite another to see a full convoy. A heads up to owners of launch and expected landing areas goes a long way to helping property owners get excited about seeing us, rather than feeling like we are taking the mickey.

The good news story happened in the run up to the Hawkes Bay Regional Competition in January. A landowner who lives next to and works at one of the wineries contacted the Club, upset about how we were parking and some of the things we were doing. Club President and Comp Organiser Aaron Chesterman went to see him to talk through what might have been a tricky conversation. He walked away with a totally reasonable and acceptable arrangement, and also with a donation of $500 in wine to support the comp! (So I’ve made a note to bring Azza along next time I need to do any negotiating.)

So how do we celebrate them?

Thank them when you see them! Neighbours talk to each other, so giving them a positive impression of our community can be contagious.

Understand what they might want from us in return for accessing their land. A property owner at Glendhu Bay asks that we support the Bike Glendhu business – they serve beer so it’s pretty easy to oblige after a nice flight. Cool mountain bike trails too.

When you do stumble across issues, make sure to let the local Club know so the information can be shared with other pilots and hopefully make amends. Some properties have very good reason to not want us there.

It is their land after all.

competitions at canungra

The Canungra Cup (paragliding) will be held in Queensland 9 - 16 October, and the Canungra Hang Gliding Classic 23 - 30 October. Canungra Hang Gliding Classic 2021: https://airtribune. com/canungra-hang-gliding-classic-2021/info

These two competitions are a great way to start the flying season.

Check Airtribune for details at https://airtribune.com/canungra-cup-2021/info

Omarama Hang Gliding events

A press time the NZHGPA Exec and HG Comp Cttee were deliberating on Omarama events and dates. It’s likely there will be events at Waitangi week and possibly Xmas-New Year as well.

Have a go at a club photo competition

All NZHGPA clubs are eligible to enter a set of their club’s top shots to the Federated Mountain Clubs photo competition, with thousands of $ in prizes up for grabs. Southern Club has been doing this for the past 3 years via their Facebook group, and it has proven a fun and popular event for the end of the flying season.

There’s a templated set of rules and instructions for how to do it on the FMC blog; www. wilderlife.nz/easyonlinephotocomp Entries close 15 September for clubs. - Dan Clearwater

January 1st to december 31st

By the number of flights entered this season so far, it appears that our last summer wasn’t the best for cross country flying in NZ.

There were more than usual blown out and stable days than usual but Rick Hawkeswood managed the longest this year so far, flying from the Kaimais to Thames. My flights were at the Omarama Classic in very stable conditions and Ian Millers flights were from Mt Murchison during the Nationals.

No doubt this Spring will be different again and hopefully better. It may be the North’s turn to get better distances again or the South. It’s interesting to see how different areas work each season.

To ENTER...

It’s free and simple; fly anywhere in New Zealand before midnight on 31st December, email or post in your flight details (and tracklog if you have one) before 30 days has passed and you’re entered.

Enter as many flights as you like. Your shorter flights are automatically replaced by your longer ones. Only your longest four flights are scored.

For each flight entry, please supply; • Your name, email address and contact phone number. • Flight date, take-off/release place, landing place, and flight distance in kilometres and 10ths. • Tracklog file from a GPS that can be read by

GPSDump, such as an IGC file. Best is a kml file optimised by GPSDump. • If you don’t have a GPS tracklog, then also supply;

Start and landing witness/s name & contact details.

A GPS instrument has many advantages for XC flying, but for pilots who don’t have GPS, you can still enter the NZ HG XC Champs without one, you just need to provide those take-off and landing witnesses contact details.

SCoRiNG

The pilot with the best total of four flights is the NZ Hang Gliding Cross Country Champion for that year and gets first choice of any prizes followed by pilots with second and third best totals. The pilot with the longest single flight gets fourth choice, then prizes go from fourth best total onwards.

Flights for each years XC Champs must be flown between 1 January and 31st December and entered within 30 days. This ends one contest while pilots have good weather and starts the next contest while everyone’s still keen and able.

Distances are measured using GPSDump which is free software that comes in Windows, Mac and other versions. It it reads GPS tracklogs from just about any instrument. It works out the best start and finish points for you so that you get the maximum distance from the 2 furtherest points on your flight. It also works out if the flight fits any other FAI criteria such as out and return, triangle etc. It also enables

THE COUNTRY CODE

We are all dependent on good relations with the farmers who own the land we fly from. Here are some guidelines to ensure that you and other pilots will be able to continue to fly. ALWAYS CHECK with local pilots before flying at new sites. ALWAYS ASK PERMISSION to fly unless you are absolutely certain that the owner allows use of the site without asking. CHECK AGAIN at Springtime as most farms have pregnant and newborn stock that can easily be frightened and injured. DO NOT show displeasure or abuse an owner if permission is refused.

This could hamper getting permission in the future. ALWAYS GET PERMISSION to take a vehicle onto a property. Ensure that vehicles without gliders are not taken onto the property. Put all gliders on one car rather than have a convoy crossing the property.

If stock is near, drive slowly. LEAVE GATES as you find them, gates may be closed to keep stock in or open to allow stock to feed. Ensure that all pilots and drivers understand. USE STILES and gates where ever possible, if you must cross a fence,

cross at a post or strainer post. AVOID hay standing or cut unless permission has been given to cross it. AVOID landing in paddocks containing crops or stock. Carefully move off crops to avoid damage. DO NOT LIGHT FIRES at any time. DO NOT SMOKE during fire risk times. DO NOT TAKE DOGS onto any farm or property. DO NOT disturb plants or machinery, move around it. LEAVE NO RUBBISH.

For those who want quicker retrieves, get the Airtribune App for Android devices. Airtribune will track your flight and your retrieve driver can look you up on their smartphone to see exactly where you are. It is limited to cell coverage areas but apparently satellite trackers like Spot work with it too. It’s easy on the phone battery though it may pay to have a backup power bank as well.

Note that Airtribune doesn’t calculate FAI Open Distance from the 2 furtherest points of your flight. You still need a tracklog for that as explained in the entry section. The Apple IOS version hasn’t been updated for a few years and currently only works at Airtribune contests.

RULES

You must be a paid up NZHGPA member during all flights or you don’t score. Entries must be postmarked or emailed within 30 days of the flight or don’t score. This helps ensure accuracy and prevents pilots holding back flights until the end, so we all to know how everyone’s doing.

Please DON’T phone, txt, or tell me in the pub, all entries must be in writing (email preferred) with all flight details (and GPS tracklog if using remote launch and/or landings), or do not score. Don’t assume that because someone else was there or you were in a competition that your flight has been entered. It is each pilots’ responsibility to declare and enter full details of their own flight entries.

Measure your flights in kilometres and 10ths of km, straight line from take-off to landing. Or for often a few more kms, optimised flight distances with a Remote Start and/or Remote Finish are welcome, if you send in a valid GPS tracklog.

Aerotow launched xc flights are permitted, but your release altitude must be less than 5% of the flight distance (current FAI ruling) or does not score. This prevents super high tows followed by a downwind glide from scoring against pilots thermalling for xc. The flight scores from tow release position (not tow take-off) and verification can be witnessed by the tug pilot, or confirmed with known landmark photo or GPS tracklog.

Out & return, triangle or multiple turnpoint distances are not eligible, however if a enough pilots enter them, I’ll table them as well. Out & return and triangle flights often don’t require the long pickups of the best xc flights, so pilots can look at this option if drivers or time are a problem.

Note: If you don’t follow the rules by providing all relevant flight details, (including valid tracklog for remote start or finish flights) within 30 days of the flight, you DO NOT SCORE.

GLidER CLASSES

Same as FAI rules. Flex wings including kingpostless gliders are Class 1. Rigid wings such as the Atos are Class 5 and Swifts are Class 2 or Class 5 without the pilot fairing.

If enough are entered, we have a special class for pilots flying skyfloater gliders such as such as the Fun, Falcon, Malibu etc. 30% double surface gliders such as Buzz, Gyro, Mars, Target, Ventura etc can be flown in this class too. As long as it has exposed crossbars.

Don’t forget to point it out on your entry if you have an exposed crossbar glider or rigid wing. You can enter in as many classes as you like. Skyfloater flights can be entered in a separate class and/or included in your Class 1 score, whichever you prefer.

Classes can be scored separately if multiple entries are received. Meanwhile they will appear in the table above.

Let me know if your flight is a site record too.
