Sous l'emprise d'une subite inspiration le 22/07/2004 03:22, Andy
Blackburn transcrivit ce que suit :

FAI AST racing tasks have a one mile radius (2 mile
diameter)around the turnpoint so you can either cut
short by a mile or go long by a mile so the total range
of distances is +/- two diameters or 4 miles.


Perhaps in some countries racing tasks have such large a radius, but
FAI/IGC don't. They have a 500 m radius, and no extra distance is
counted if you fly further than 500 m before the turn point.

Q. Pourquoi ne faut-il pas répondre au-dessus de la question ?
