Four gliders from the 15m class and 1 glider from open class are still getting their best chances to get home. It seems like today was a nice reward after yesterday´s non contest day for everybody.

All gliders from club class are home.

 The runway is full of gliders which is a good signal that today should be a success one :-)

The sky has cleared but blue termals should be active. We have just moved to the tower so let´s wait for first pilots to come. One outlanding has been reported so far. Check the PILOT STATUS LIST.

The atmosphere at the airport is very calm, people are enjoying nice and warm sunshines. The temperature is rising up and the clouds are drying out.

All gliders are in the air in less than 45 minutes. The current weather situation looks very promising. We are even jelous not to fly.

 First start is confirmed to 12pm.

2015-04-09 10:35:28

It is shortly after the briefing and first start is planned for 12:00. All classes received racing tasks from 244 to 306 km. Accoarding to the meteorologist Ivo, the weather is influenced by the dry air, therefore we might expect just some cu clouds that will be drying out during the day and should not be very strong, up to 2m/s. The significant change is the wind that will be weak (finally :) )  and the temperature will be much nicer, up to 18 C. Later in the afternoon cirrus clouds are expected coming from the north. Don´t forget to check the webcam ;)
