- Programme
The programme is built around the Unlimited event, which will take priority in case revisions are necessary. Contest will be run according to CIVA format, including 10 minutes box time per pilot for programme-1 Known flight. Programme 3, 1st Unknown, will be drawn by BAeA. Pilots will be offered a choice of 2 or 3 sequences, each using the same 10 figures and drawn to CIVA rules wth 1-4 linking figures added. Pilots may design their own sequences using these 10 figures, adding 1-4 linking figures of their own choice in accordance with CIVA rules, if they wish. A marked box and line judges will be used if logistically possible. Results of the Known will count towards the final results.
The BAeA domestic version of the Adv known will be used, NOT the CIVA version.
Electronic copies of Advanced and Unlimited Free sequences (Aresti or OpenAero, preferably in ".seq" file format) must be received by the closing date, or the default sequence must be flown.
