Objective
To make a clean take-off from the deck, to fly a course to the furthest turnpoint of pilot’s choice in the series below and return to the deck. A landing in one of the landing markers in the deck will score as below:
Special rules
The clock starts the moment the pilot’s feet leave the ground.
At the start, the pilot scores 250 bonus points for a clean take off at the first attempt, 170 for the second, 90 for the third, zero for any attempts thereafter.
Each turnpoint in the series below has an increasing value of one point. The FIRST photo on the pilot's film MUST be point 58. The SECOND photo on the pilot's film will be the point which is scored.
When landing, If the pilot elects to switch off his engine at least 5m above the marker and:
- Makes a first touch on the marker: Landing bonus: 250 points
- Misses the marker: landing bonus: 75 points
If the pilot elects to not switch off his engine and:
- Makes a first touch on the marker: Landing bonus: 150 points
If the pilot falls over as a result of a landing: zero landing score.
Land out: Score zero, Enter the No Fly Zone: 50% penalty

NBmax = The maximum number of markers and/or turn points collected in the task
Bto = Pilot’s takeoff bonus points
Bld = Pilot’s landing bonus points
