Wednesday 23rd AUGUST  TASK 4

 

 

NAVIGATION CONTRACT

AIM :

Find the number of ground features.

 

PRINCIPAL :

You will have to fly over the maximum number of ground features in a set amount of time. That period of time will include flight preparation and the actual flight itself.

Time will begin when the list of ground features is handed out and stopped on landing. Before take off, the pilot will have to have his flight path defined (= contract) that must be scrupulously adheved to. (number of ground features and in the chronological order of the ground features).

The ground features will need to be validated by a photograph taken in flight, in the angular sector defined by the description of the ground features.

The pilot will have to take off and land in the landing deck.

Process for exiting deck and handing in film.

 

 

PENALITES :

                        Overrunning the landing deck at take off  =   10% penalty on performance

                        Landing before or overrunning the landing deck on landing = 10% penalty on performance

                        Each ground feature not identified = 20% of declared contract

 

            Example = If a contract totalling 20 ground features :

 

  1st invalid ground features = 20% on 20 = 4 ground features penalised ð 16 ground features remaining in the contract.

2^nd invalid ground features = 20% out of 16 = 3 ground features penalised ð 13 ground features remaining in the contract.

                        Penalty rounded down for 0.5 or less and rounded up above 0.5 for the number of ground features.

 

CALCULATION :

                        PERFORMANCE = N° of valid ground features - Penalities

 

 

 

 

The best performance will be amended to 1000 points and the others pro rated.
