!!SAPFA invites microlighters for the 4th time to the SA National Precision Landing Championships to be hosted at FABS (Brits) on Saturday 27 JUNE 2015. Friday afternoon will be free practise with lots of SA Champs at hand to give us advice. Briefing Saturday at 08H30 followed immediately with Weight-shift landings (before it becomes bumpy). Trike pilots sit back and relax after this to watch the rest of the field doing their landings. You can arrive Saturday, enter, attend briefing, compete and leave, and your result or trophy will still be awarded and sent to you.
This has proved a popular event with microlights in 2008, 2009 and 2010. We are given our own class by SAPFA with Aeroclub medals and SAPFA certificates for the first 3 positions. In the past we had 3 flights of 4 microlights entered (3-axis and weightshift), and another 25 entries from the blik-aerie guys.
Great fun, lots to laugh (and) lots to learn.
No matter what your experience level, you WILL walk away a better pilot. It instills confidence in you, and you will never fear an engine-out again (Okay, much less then before!
) !Landings consist of:
-Normal landings from 500ft with power, flaps (if applicable)
-Normal landings from 500ft without flaps (trikes will do another as per above)
-Glide landings from 1000ft (engine kept on idle)
-Powered landings over an obstacle
Free hangarage will be made available for those seeking space on Friday. Ditto Saturday for those not wanting to fly back. Saturday afternoon is price giving followed by the famous Brits "Sop and Sjerrie" around a campfire. Camp or doss in the clubhouse.
Hope to see lots from Kroon, Aeroden, Aviators, Rustenburg, Rieties boys, Ngwe, Crosswinds and everywhere !
Cheers,
Roel
