NEW Sporting Code rules

Now the IGC has basically said that you have to commit to a landing away for Silver distance I think it is a poor decision, like Tom. No. The pilot may do a 100k+ O&R. There is no requirement to make a physical landing at the destination. A turn point just needs to be at least 50 km from the release point. But if the pilot can climb and stay above 2000M, then for a 40:1 sailplane it's definitely a local flight. This new rule only handicaps a few locations that may have low thermals and airspace / terrain that precludes safely going more than 25-30km from home... 5Z
