Livetracking:

That’s the surprise I was keeping under my sleeve: After confirmation from the developer today, I am very pleased to announce that this championship will be used as a test for the livetracking system developed by the FFVL (which already works for paragliding). This is the first time that a French hang gliding comp will use the famous "livetracking" system! However, there is still a module to develop which is the one allowing the display of the task on the map but the developer is very confident. You understand that this is completely experimental and for now, it only works with devices running Android. This means that we will not be providing actual trakers and that only the pilots with Android devices will be able to use it this year…

Waypoints:

The waypoints in various formats are available for download through the Facebook page of the event but also from the website. Sadly, this doesn’t prevent you from the traditional registration process as stated on the website:

FAI License – IPP5:

I emphasize the fact that all competing pilots need an FAI license as well as an IPP5 card in order to participate to the comp. The registered pilots who do not hold these don’t have much time left to take care of it. You can check here :

Here’s the Facebook page for the event:

We are finalizing the details for the ‘diner party’ included in the registration fee. That should take place on Saturday 10th

I am also very excited by the fcat that we have officialized a full partnership between Atout Vents and Cross Country Magazine and Brauniger whom will be giving away lots of prizes for the five podiums (Open, Class 1, Class 5, Sport's Class and Women) including free subscriptions to Cross Country magazine, Hang Gliding Books and DVDs etc. It's not prize money yet but someday.

Finally, there’s only today left to pay the registration fee with the penalties so get your credit cards out of your wallet and click on pay now.
