The Spring Meeting - Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy, at its 4th edition, is a FAI 2 competition (Hang Gliding class 1, class 5, Sport class) which takes place in a flight zone well known by European pilots. It is also part of the big flying area which have hosted the XXII Hang Gliding World Championship.

The flight area is mainly in the foothill but, depending on weather conditions, it is possible to fly also in the Alps and in the flatland. There are different takeoffs; two of them are in Slovenia and can be chosen in case of changeable weather.

The weather turns

Pilots are already on takeoff. Weather seems perfect today, so we expect to go in the air early in the afternoon for a consistent task.

Because pilots weren't assigned Flymaster trackers through Airtribune, live tracking on Airtribune doesn't work for this competition. Follow the pilots on the Flymaster web site.

The task has started: https://lt.flymaster.net/bs.php?grp=2636

You can see the Replay from yesterday here: https://airtribune.com/play/4032/2d at the two times faster speed (compared to the Flymaster web site). The Airtribune replay uses the IGC files found here: https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/results. The Airtribune Replay user interface is vastly superior to the Flymaster Playback user interface. It does have a problem with screen clutter on cell phones.

Flights

We are a very small country. Still its big enough to fly 218.5 km!

Last Sunday conditions appeared to be good, so we set a task from our club field (close to the Belgium border) to the North of the country (close to the see). The wind was on the limit for a safe winch launch, but there was not much turbulence. With four guys and one women we went on course.

With a tailwind of 30-40 km/hour we were moving fast. However it was not possible to stay together.

After four hours I saw the coastline and the islands. Sadly I had to leave my cloud street because I thought it was not allowed to fly over the small airfield near Groningen. I landed close to the coast, 218.5 km from launch beating the record by almost 100 km.

Actually we all improved our national bests: The former record holder: Chris Weeke landed at 207 km, Rob van Rijnbach on a Atos, 195 km, our girl, Hadewych van Kempen at 52 km, Tanno Rutten at 169km, but from Martin van Helden I have no details.

Have a look here for the HOLC records of these flights or for an animation here.
