Most of the double seaters are on the ground. Also some of the gliders from the world class. We are expecting the rest of the pilots. The weather on the last leg seems to be okay at the moment. The sun above Nitra is hidden behind the clouds.

After the briefing...
Now we are after the briefing. Before that we have met with team captians again to clarify the recent changes to rules and procedures. This was wery smooth and we could start the brifing on time. Despite the weather did not look promissing in the morning we have prepared the speed tasks via assigned areas for all classes. Since we are in between two airmasses cold in the west and warm and stabile in the east the forecasting was taff. Anyway our weather man Ivan Chlebovec (Chlebik) did a good job and it looks we matched the task with the weather. The first launch planned at 12:30 was kept and the launches started on time. Now all classes after approximately of 50 minute of towing fly in the air. More news later.
