Proposed Changes: Aerobatics & Pylon
The following document contains recommended changes to the slope
soaring aerobatics and pylon rules currently listed in a the Model
Aeronautical Association of Australia (MAAA) rules book, under
the heading, Slope Soaring Contests.
The original rules for these two tasks (aerobatics and pylon)
were developed over 30 years ago at a time when slope soaring
was the predominant form of gliding. Travelling was not an issue
and spare time was abundant. The revised rules are more suited
to the era in which we now live, though they were trialled very
successfully in 1993, 1994 and 1995. The revised aerobatics program
is more challenging, void of past flaws and inconsistencies and
will be easier to run for all future organisers.
