1000K Questions
When doing 1000K, how many turn points are you allowed
during the flight and how far away from the last turn point do you have to be to turn at the next point? I know, hopefully really far but is there a limit? Thanks Brian Iten 17 |

Plus, the (1 to 3) turnpoints have to be declared (electronic or signed
paper declaration) before flight, but they do not have to be flown in the declared order, nor do you have to use all of them, as long as the resulting task distance exceeds 1000K (plus any release altitude penalty).

How do the tasks with more turnpoints qualify?I have seen on RAS
ten TP's mentioned, specifically courses in the White Mountains US. Others here (NZ ,upper north island) have worked out a 1000K with a start ,5tp's and a remote finish utilizing coastal seacliffs to get past a large control area for an International airport. gary "tango4" wrote in message ... 3 tps minimum tp seperation 10 km Ian "Brian Iten" wrote in message ...
