Default Critical Contest Safety Procedures Checklist



I'm pretty sure this is top of the lift actually achieved by gliders
in the air. 3300 ft AGL is probably workable for many eastern sites
and possibly Hobbs but I would hesitate to start a task in Arizona
this low. *Contestants are likely to be soon on the ground at local
strips or eating cactus! *I personally would recommend a minimum of
5,000 ft AGL here.

just because the task is open doesn't mean you have to start, right?
