Changes to 2023 Competitions Program

The program for the remaining competitions in 2023 has been changed to now have Latrobe in October.  Bairnsdale has been cancelled and in its place, on the same date in November, will be GMAC.  Hopefully the warmer weather will give us some great flying.   See under Events/Calendar for details.   Please Note:  The date for the Latrobe competition has been moved earlier by one week to October 15.

New Competition Schedules 2023-25

We have new competition schedules for Advanced, Expert and F3A.   This is in line with the usual practice of changing these schedules every two years. Sportsman,which usually does not change, is yet to be confirmed. 

Our new schedules will be flown at all competitions commencing immediately after the completion of the August 2023 World Championships.

See under Resources for links to the Schedule Descriptions, Arresti Diagrams and the 2023 Promotion Scores for each of these schedules.  

Interim Call Cards for all except Sportsman have also been added under Resources. Official Call Cards will be provided as soon as these are available.  For the Sportsman Call Card See under Getting Started.
