Region 12 Contest Inyokern Invitation - TPs updated
Region 12 Regional Meet
Practice: 8/27/2011 Saturday Contest: 8/28/2011 – 9/2/2011 Sunday to Friday Classes: 15 Meter, Open, Sports, Club Please join us for a top notch contest coming up at the end of the summer. Inyokern is legendary as the shortest onramp to the Sierra and White mountain freeways. Expect fun fast flying for new contest pilots on the regular routes from Tehachapi to Bishop. World class conditions will challenge the expert pilots. The far north task area includes Tonopah, Hilton Ranch, and Bishop with some of the strongest thermal conditions in the West. The south task area will reward pilots with flying the Mojave Desert and El Mirage shear lines. Here is an annotated map laying out the task area: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/463771/inyok..._annotated.pdf The red highlighted restricted areas are the ones pilots will most likely need to circumnavigate. Steering turnpoints will allow tasking around the China Lake (R2505) restricted area immediately east of the contest site. The blue area (R2506) is rarely if ever used. Flying into the south task area either requires that the Edwards AFB restricted area R2515 (green) be opened, or that the weather conditions permit flanking R2515 via Rosamond Int (TP 76). As a retired NWS meteorologist and local contest pilot, your CD, Walt Rogers, will have a pretty good handle on when these conditions will work.
