References to section 7 used in this text should be cross-checked with the latest edition of Section 7. All pilots participating in a World Cup event must accept these rules in their entirety. All pilots fly under their own responsibility. All pilots accept without restriction to hold the Organisers, PWCA, its bodies and members harmless and waive all claims to compensation. The purpose of the Paragliding World Cup is to provide sporting, fair, competitive and safe contest flying in order to determine the World Cup Winners in Class 3 and to reinforce friendship among competitors and nations. The PWCA Regulations for Organisers together with these International Competition Rules determine the attributable criteria of a World Cup event as well as the specific site requirements. The CONTACT ADDRESS for the PWCA is : Yves Goueslain - PWCA General Secretary Verel dessous - St Germain 74290 Talloires - FRANCE Tel : ++33 (0)4 50 64 40 97 - Fax : ++33 (0)4 50 64 40 97 Email : [email protected] Internet : http ://www.pwca.org SUPPORTING MEMBERS A manufacturer/distributor can sponsor the PWCA by paying a minimum subscription of Euro 686,00 per season. Sponsors will be mentioned on the official ranking of a World Cup event and in the overall results and on back- drops, banners and flags. Each pilot must become member of the PWCA by paying a minimum subscription of Euro 31,00 / FRF 200,00 or CHF 50,00. 1. GENERAL 4 1.1. Duration E A World Cup event should consist of 7 days and a maximum of 6 validated tasks. Each competition starts on Sunday and finishes on Saturday. The registration takes place on Saturday before the event. The prize giving ceremony may be on Saturday or Sunday morning. The last Saturday is a reserve day in case we have not validated 6 PWC tasks. 1.2. Number of Tasks for PWC Ranking E The first 6 PWC validated tasks per event which fulfil the minimum requirements for pwc competitions will count for PWC ranking. 1.3. Participants A competing pilot has to be qualified to meet the demands of an international paragliding competition. If the competitor's country issues paraglider pilot licences, the pilot should hold a valid licence or the stage of the Parapro of the International Pilot Proficiency Identification of the FAI. Each competitor shall hold a valid FAI Sporting Licence issued by his own NAC or by the FAI General Secr. (prospective members). 1.4. Insurance All participants must have a valid medical expense health care insurance (covering all hospital expenses, rescue and repatriation) or a similar personal accident insurance as well as a third part liability insurance with an insured limit of a minimum of 1 million Swiss Francs/foreign currency equivalent. 1.5. Qualification of Participants 5 Each pilot must guarantee that he is : - a member of the national league of his country; or - has successfully participated in national championships (ranked within top 50); or - has successful participated in World Cup events (ranked within top 100); or - has written permission from his national aeronautical association (FAI member) to participate. 1.6. Number of Participants E The maximum number of pilots participating is fixed at a maximum of 125 pilots including 10 wildcards (subject to the organiser, fulfilling rule 1.3). 10% of the places are reserved for women. Registration at the event is not accepted. The selection of the participants will be carried out by the PWCA office in accordance with Appendix A.. 1.7 Local regulations Local regulations are the rules prepared by an organiser. They must not conflict with PWCA rules and be submitted to an approval by the PWCA and the TD at least 3 months before the event. 1.8 Serial and Open Class E 2 classes «Open Class» (Prototypes & gliders with certification) & «Serial Class» (DHV 2/3 or AFNOR Performance) are in competition. A glider will be checked only in case of a protest against the pilot or in case of an accident to show if the pilot has followed the PWCA rules. In case of infringement, the sanction will be decided by the jury. 6 · SERIAL CLASS (DHV 2/3 or AFNOR category PERFORMANCE) Each pilot flying with a serial class glider has not the right to change anything on his glider (canopy, line, riser or speedsystem). The reference is the certification given by the manufacturer for homologation. · OPEN CLASS (Prototypes and gliders with certification) a) In case of using a certified glider (for example :AFNOR competition or DHV3 glider) : Each pilot flying with a certified glider has not the right to change anything on his glider (canopy, line, riser or speed system). The reference is the certification given by the manufacturer for the homologation. b) In case of using a prototype, the needed documentation is : Pilots flying with a prototype glider must bring at their first competition’s registration the following documents : 1) Each glider must have a serial number for identification. 2) The shock & load tests (corresponding to the glider’s model, not for each size). 3) A manufacturer’s certificate guaranteeing that the prototypes meets the AFNOR competition standards. 4) The constructor’s agreement for a nominated pilot to fly with this glider. - Model means : Same line configuration and line diameters as the tested prototype. ¨ If the manufacturers want a certificate, the testing organism has to keep the glider as guarantee. Many manufacturers want to get back their prototypes. In such case the manufacturers undertake to pass their glider at the DHV or CEN shock & load tests and that they will produce a certificate on one's honour. 7 ¨ If the manufacturers want to make the tested glider flying again, it is COMPULSORY to change all the lines of this canopy. It is the constructor’s responsibility to choose which pilots are flying with his prototypes. It is the pilot’s responsibility to have all the needed documentation. This documentation has to be given at the competition’s registration to the PWCA’s secretariat. Without this documentation, the pilot will be refused. The secretariat keeps this documentation (during the whole PWCA season).

I nearly pulled out before it even started. The weather forecast didn’t look at all promising and the prospect of a 4 hour drive each way; sharing a room with 3 other snoring On the last day a promising forecast translated into blokes on rubber mattresses in bunk bed accommodation; scratchy conditions with the occasional thermal allowing with no WIFI (or even 3G); and little prospect of flying did- people to get away.

This will not only have residential homes with hangars, garages and the obligatory sauna but hotels, a marina, camp site and holiday homes all to go with the state of the art aircraft maintenance facility and training school (linked to the local Applied Sciences University) and runway. Two runways, both hard and soft, if the planners approve my idea for the additional soft. The possibility of an Air Traffic Control training centre may also be on the cards. Once again my thanks to Paul Tallet and Mark at Progression Marketing for setting the front cover of this Spring issue and to Paul for supplying the image and to all those who have contributed to this Newsletter.

  • AEROBATIC PARAGLIDING Season 2012 Summary
    AEROBATIC PARAGLIDING Season 2012 summary During 2012 a total of 7 FAI Cat 2 competitions took place in 5 countries, with 65 participating pilots from 17 different nations. 5 were only solo competitions, 1 was only synchro, and 1 was solo & synchro. 2 solo and 2 synchro competitions counted for the Aerobatic Paragliding World Cup ranking (APWC). Event Location Date APWC Solo Synchro Nations pilots teams Vertigo Voss Voss, Bergen (NOR) 25-26.06.12 No 21 N/A 5 Acrojam Obertraun (AUT) 04-08.07.12 No 20 N/A 10 Norwegian Championship Bygland (NOR) 26-29.07.12 No 6 N/A 1 Nordic Open Are (SWE) 02-05.08.12 No 18 N/A 5 Acrobatixx Zell am See (AUT) 02-05.08.12 Solo 39 N/A 12 AcroLake Brienz (SUI) 16-19.08.12 Synchro N/A 10 6 AcroWing Tour Annecy (FRA) 30.09-02.09.12 Solo & 39 11 7 Synchro APWC – AEROBATIC PARAGLIDING WORLD CUP 2012 was the season of big changes in competition format and scoring system: the Evolution competition format - a completely new system featuring live scoring with the results displayed on a big screen and simultaneously published in the internet - was introduced with great success. This was possible thanks to dedicated software Acropyx, developed during the last 2 years. We had 3 events counting for APWC: one solo only, one synchro only and one final event with both solo and synchro. The 1st APWC event of the season was Acrobatixx in Zell am See / Austria. As usual, the event had a remarkable success of audience due to its concomitance with the Lake Fest, a very popular estival event in Zell am See, with air show and live music.

Mike Cav’s giving a talk. Skywords - September 2016 Page 1 Martin Baxter CHAIRMAN’S CHAT – September 2016 We need your help. I hope that you had a good summer with plenty of flying from Dales sites, and that you made use of the other facilities that the club has to offer – the website, safety advice, coaching, library, club nights and indeed Sky- words itself. Some of you might believe that you pay for all this in your membership fees, but the truth is that without a committee of volunteers none of it would happen. So it’s come to that time of year when I ask you to stand for a post on the committee. You are welcome to vol- unteer for any position, but the ones I am particularly worried about this time round are Treasurer and Sites Officer (North); followed by Trophies and Paragliding Competitions. Finding a Treasurer is my greatest worry, because without someone to control the finances the club will fold. Elsewhere in the issue you will find a description of the job from Tony’s perspective. Unlike some other com- mittee posts you don’t need to be a Skygod, so it could be a good job for a new member. If we can’t find some- one before the AGM then I will have to start getting quotes from professional accountants; and that will inevita- bly mean that we either eat into our precious Flying Fund or raise subscription fees.
