One thing that's new in the OLC this year is tracking of flights by
takeoff location. This is a great feature that lets people see results summarized by takeoff location. It's a useful tool for scouting soaring sites, or just seeing how people fly in different places. It is also a critical component of the OLC League scoring, because league flights are only scored if they depart from your club's designated home airfield. Unfortunately there are many airports in the US with similar names, and these names have to be abbreviated to fit in the OLC format. There have been a number of flights claimed for the wrong airport in the SSA-OLC this year. Airports that have been a problem include Byron, Mifflin, Warner, Williams, etc. We have added the state abbreviation to airport names known to cause confusion to make them more distinctive. If you find any other airfiield names confusing, send a note to olcatssadotorg, and we'll fix them. Please check your OLC flight claims to make sure you have the correct airport name, inclluding the state abbreviation if applicable. Otherwise, your flight will not be scored for your club in the OLC League starting next week. For more info check the SSA-OLC site: http://www.ssa.org/members/contestreports/OLC.htm |
