The time,
place and volume of fuelling control will be given at the task briefing. Measuring
bottles and tape to seal tanks will be provided and marshals will be available
to resolve problems but in principle pilots will control themselves. Pilots will
control themselves in the following order: In current
championship order; pilot in position 1 will control pilot in position 2 and
vice versa, 3 = 4, 5 = 6 Etc. If the
last one has nobody to control him this will be done by a marshal. Pilots are
reminded that the rules state that machines must completely empty of fuel. Completely means the entire fuel
system including fuel tank, fuel lines, filters, primer bulbs and carburettor. As soon as
a machine is fuelled and sealed the machine must be placed in the secure area. Pilots may
not re-enter the secure area without explicit permission unless they are going
to remove the machine to the deck to start the task. Penalty: Depends on the
circumstances but could include disqualification. Penalty for
not completing fuelling in the time window:
20% task score FOR BOTH PILOTS CONCERNED. Immediately
after landing at the end of the task the pilot must place his machine in the
secure area until it has been controlled by the pilot who sealed it. |
