Rules

We fly mainly according to the PWCA Competition Rules 2014.

- FTV: Yes, we will use FTV to get a discard! The FTV “reject rate” is set to 20%.

- We use the Formula PWC 2013. Parameters are: Min. dist: 7 km, nom. dist: 70 km, nom. time: 1:40, nom. goal: 30%, nom. takeoff: 95%

- Conical End of Speed Section: It is likely, that we try it. But we will be "conservative" in its use. Deep alpine valleys may produce unexpected effects. Attend the briefings and check the taskboard.

- Prize money: If we don't find a sponsor for the Prize Money, we are not able to spend this amount. Sorry for that.

In case of undefined problems, we will use the Swiss Competition Rules and CIVL Section 7 or the General Section to solve the problem.

Important: If there are any doubts, ask before the end of the briefing or at least prior the start of a tasks. We will not cancel a task or disqualify a major part of the pilots because of unclear or undefined rules.

Gliders

PWCA Competition Rules 2014:

3.1.3 Only certified gliders up to EN 926 or LTF 91/09, but with tolerances on lines and risers as defined in Appendix E: Glider Checking Procedure, are allowed in World Cup competitions. It is not permitted for the pilot to modify the glider in any way, except for the length of the brake main-line.
3.1.4. The pilot must fly in the homologated weight range.

Glider checks

We are not able to check gliders regularly. But we will do it occasionally and on request. See Appendix E of the PWCA Competition Rules 2014: Glider Checking Procedure.
