Tips for starting competition Warnervale YWVA pilot point

3 TIPS for competition of the GA Flying below.

Story of the day of the competition.

23 May 2010 attended and participated in a contest of Flying in Australia New Wales in the South of Warnervale (YWVA) just north of Sydney. These competitions are allowed for landings forced error engine, spot landing, landing approach and any instrument that glide and clouds flying. I went for additional practice in emergency procedures and these competitions offer a pleasant way to hone your skills.

My morning started in Bankstown (YSBK) 0700 and with some scatttered showers and cloud thought best call pilots local in Warnervale YWVA to ask about local climatic conditions. Fortunately someone responded to YWVA advise had less scattered clouds over 4000ft and no wind. Bankstown had similar time so everything was good to get away, was ready, set, go to Warnervale!

At 0740 I departed YSBK with 29R track and proceeded on my trip without interruption until approaching just north of Gosford. I was on a heading 013 m when showers and heavy low clouds was ahead.

Decreased 1500ft so I was clear of cloud and started to prepare for a flight with a heavy showers and cloud ahead path deviation.

Had begun fun and calculations of mathematics, Air pilots know as browsing. Now my love for enjoyment of flying and passive mathematics had a goal and that was calculating safe fun for Warnervale or give back. I love flying low and heavy cloud forward was a positive challenge as I had several safe options and expected expected and planned what is more important that I could overcome the obstacle that the composition of YWVA followed later. Of all if not me Warnervale with aircraft competition, the event was sentenced and I am sure that other drivers driving that would be so disappointed as if the event was canceled.

A heading 013 West deviant m away from the clouds and then turned to a heading of 283 M and kept me away from the cloud. I remained on the runway for 3 minutes and then returned to my original heading 013 m in parallel to the original title track. Once clearly past the base cloud re-most my track turning this now with a game of 103 m.

Originally the West having diverted for 3 minutes and have nil wind seemed an obvious mathematics calculation that I should I track 103 M for another 3 minutes to pick up my original flight path. Almost to the second of my correction of 3 minutes I saw Warnervale YWVA only 1 nautical mile ahead.

YWVA was a clear vision, WOW, a calculation of simple math, we know that the navigation could not have been more favourable for me this day. I liked math in school and was, without doubt, happy and impressed right angle deviation away and return on the base of the cloud I came to the exact location that needed to be.

YWVA Warnervale flying contest involving a corto-campo takeoff, a rise of instrument and maneuvers, followed by a landing of a landing in the track and then a touch and go with a circuit at 500 feet, then a flat point landing.

We had some minor competition with the odd interruption isolated clouds and showers. Filming at Warnervale were affected by rain overnight to make sure that the aircraft was not sunk when offsets to and from the runway was both a challenge and was a part of the competition.

Case study: Spot Landings

The majority of pilots tend to land 5-50 m, at a minimum, the spot in last competitions landing spot and very few if any soil before the English channel, until you find a point on the track ahead of the spot.

3 TIPS and techniques for GA competitions.

Tip 1. Undershoot landing spot. My observations of competitions landing spot almost all pilots advance the place, so try hitting ahead of the spot.

Suggestion 2. Try hitting ahead of point by 15 m as most land approximately 15 m or more above the ground.

Suggestion 3. If you have practical time using some circuits before the event to get a idea of what this early and by how many meters undershoot wishing to obtain the place.

Analysis of Landings Spot:

It may be easier to come early, then Accelerator for the place then, is to invest when you have gone past, except of course if you're in a helicopter.
