15/Jun/13 Flying report
To: cgcmemlist@vicnet.net.au
Hi all,
Saturday started
brilliantly clear and rather calm, however, the wind
soon arrived in force and by the time our aircraft
were ready the days operations were clearly going to
be carried out on runway 24.
I believe 2
passengers were expected for the day but a third
"walk in" joined us providing plenty of
work for Duty AEI Neil Muspratt. The day's
flying started with a check flight for Duty
Instructor, Mark Thompson, with Duty L2, Garrett
Russell. I secured a check flight with Garrett
in CQC shortly after whereby I was granted solo
status for the rest of the day and Florian Poff made
good use of GYK with Mark Thompson for some training
flights.
Wave lift was
encountered by all who flew but remaining in it
proved more difficult. Neil Muspratt scored
flight of the day in CQC with 55 mins, followed by
Rupert Perry and Garrett Russell in GYK at 42 mins.
All launches most
competently carried out by tuggie Steve Chapman and
the days activities including extra passenger flight
ably directed by DP Alan Graham. Unfortunately
there was no sign of our second DP Dave Crocker.
All up, 12 launches
split evenly between both gliders with GYK scoring 1
hour 56 mins and CQC totalling 2 hours 50 mins and a
most enjoyable, sunny, day's flying.
