3. Competition Start and Finish procedures.
Competition starts and finishes will be based on BGA TP HTN,
co-ordinates 52 20.493N 000 46.742E.
Starts will be by the BGA semi circle as at rule 19.1.1.
The Finish Line will be replaced by a 1.5 Kilometre radius
circle (a finish ring), centred on the Start Point HTN. See
annex C for approximate dimensions.
Once finishers are within 1.5 Kilometres of the Start Point
HTN they will be deemed to have completed the task and will
receive an interpolated finish time accurate to one second.
Finishes should be at a minimum height of 200’AGL followed
by arrival procedures as briefed on the day. If there is insufficient
momentum to finish at 200’ gliders may finish below this
height but any subsequent high energy manoeuvre above 200’
may be penalised at the directors discretion.
Finishers should call at 10km on the competition frequency,
130.125
4. Airfield Boundary
The airfield boundary is defined by the perimeter track. To
qualify for an additional launch (relight), the glider must
have landed within the airfield boundary.

the Hedges, Langar, Sibson and Weston On The Green are declared
