Goals were set sharp on the 'high' wind. The last target was reachable for
most pilots. |

Yes |
A Hare and Hounds task was set. The winds were OK but some changes of
direction allowed only a third of the pilots to score in the MSA. |
| 2405a.pdf |
FIN and HWZ cancelled |
Yes |
Pilots were requested to reconvene at the airfield in the SW of the map.
Due to proximity of CB's it was decided to take-off from the airport's CLA and
the FIN and the Hesitation Waltz tasks were cancelled. The JDG and LRN tasks
were flown in winds that turned out to be variable.
Interesting tasks evolved requiring a lot of tactical decision making during the
flight. The winning result is remarkable and can be

A nice set of tasks was set with a PDG in 2000ft (STAR). Unfortunately the
flight was cancelled after waiting for a while in the improvised CLA NE of the
city because the winds remained just above the limit. |

Yes |
A BOX, HWZ and ANG were set. Pilots did achieve good results in the box best result by Zoltan NEMETH can be seen here. The
wind slowed down and good results were hard to achieve. Because of the slowing
down of the wind, only half of the pilots managed to finish the Angle task before
sunset. |

ANG was cancelled during task briefing. |
Yes |
The winds were slow and variable and what there was as direction was going
to a swamp area. So a triple HNH was set to be able to lead the pack in
manageable areas and a ANG task at the end. During the Task Briefing questions
arose and after some deliberation with Masashi Kakuda and
David Levin, I decided to cancel the ANG task. During flight the winds became
slower and slower and some pilots did not achieve the second goal. There were
no markers in the third MSA. |

2 PDGs changed to one HWZ |
Yes |
Two PDG's were set in a frustrating slow and changing wind in all directions,
even in altitude. The tasks were changed to a single HWZ. After all, the flight
became a good challenge of skill when four of the HWZ goals could be achieved
making it difficult for a pilot to choose. |

Yes |
Finally the weather gods were on our side and in near perfect conditions
with good steering in slow winds, a JDG, HWZ and JDG was set for the last
flight. 90% of the pilots scored in the set MSA's |
