Ok, as you point out Don, i guess those 2 phrases allow for glider flight exemption.Actually, your last 2 paragraphs are the key take-away points. Thanks.

On the FARs for us pilots, here is one that probably should be reminded of: 91:159 , A1 & A2, VFR cruise altitudes.  Not sure how our gliders on XC can adhere to the 1000 ft delta while trying to complete a task that crosses any N-S line?

Thanks for reminder!     In advance, is there an elusive “punch-list” (items needing work) that was mentioned by J. Lincoln Maint Report at the Feb meeting? Of course all the board members probably know exactly what’s on the top-10,  & still outstanding. The rest of us may not know.

[Dennis Burke]

That’s super.   The altitude profile might be really interesting to watch later, by the pilot.

Nice. Does the Condor flight create an IGC file,  for later viewing ?

It would be great if the GS and Operations section,  re-reviewed the topics brought up in last yr’s March 9, 2021 Safety Mtg posting!

Hi, do you know if this CLGC webinar (Condor) was recorded, for further view?

[Dennis Burke]

Per Don’s and John’s message reminders, this just popped up for Feb 9 discussion on WINGS by faasafety.gov

very timely…..

I can only speak for myself, but there is another version-type to XCSoar called “TopHat” for Android systems, that i find much easier to seup, use & understand.

It uses XC Soar file formats, waypoints, site files, tasks, records flights as IGC files, and replays IGCs.

Minimum experience using XCSoar.

Go 7 minutes into Chap 10, where airfoil is introduced

Missed Chap 10 online, but thank you Steve for YouTube links!

My first time voting,… is the 2022 Slate the same as last year? Is a paper ballot used?
