PPG Tasks: TASK 1 brief
Updated 15 May 2001 TASK 1

TASK 1

·       

·      This task is as task C1 in the PPG local regulations

·      Unlimited fuel

·      Briefing:  08:00 12 May 2001

·      Takeoff starts:  09:00, 12 May 2001

·      Takeoff order:  Pilot number

PRECISION TAKE-OFF AND LANDING

Objective

To make a clean take off at the first attempt in the deck, and subsequently land as near as possible to a point.

Description

The pilot is permitted four takeoff attempts, climbs to 500ft overhead the target, cuts the engine before passing through a gate and tries to make a first touch as near as possible to the centre of a target consisting of a series of concentric circles.

Special rules, takeoff

Takeoff order will be in order of pilot number.  Only 6 pilots are allowed on the deck at any one time.  As soon as there is a vacant space on the deck the next pilot in order should enter the deck and prepare to take off.  Pilots should NOT start to take off until they are sure a marshal is watching and knows who they are.   Penalty for “delaying” takeoff (more than 20 min on the deck or highest pilot number on deck is more than pilot number + 7)  20% takeoff score.

 

The pilot scores 250 points for a clean take off at the first attempt, 170 for the second, 90 for the third, zero for the fourth.

Special rules, circuit

The circuit to be flown will be detailed at briefing.  Engine off overhead the target whilst flying into wind.  1 Minute MINIMUM engine off time before landing.  (Penalty 20% landing score).

Special rules, Landing

The first touch of the ground or the football by the pilot’s foot is the point from which the pilot’s score will be derived.  A first touch on the line scores the higher score.

 

Contestants will be awarded a zero task score for:

·      The pilot or any part of the aircraft touching the ground outside the deck while undertaking the task.

Contestants will be awarded a zero landing score for:

·      Engine not stopped before the gate.

·      Gate not passed correctly.

·      Falling over as a result of the landing.

Scoring

Pilot score = (Bto + Bld)

Where:            

Bto = Takeoff points, Bld = Landing points
