Comment & pix Task 6 The navigation part of this task was supposed to be loaded towards speed but in the consistent absence of any weather information the Director put a 2 1/2 hour time limit which would have been better set at 2 hours as it stayed relatively calm for the task. The result was that most pilots completed all points without coming anywhere near a time penalty. One problem, later to be of crucial importance to the team scoring was that some of the Czech team took off from the wrong decks. Initially the pilots concerned were given a 20% overall penalty. This is the Director's reply to the subsequent complaints from the Czech team;
The Czech team later made an official protest about this (the only one of the competition) but the International Jury voted to uphold the Director's decision.
