LKSC Regatta 2012
The Keepit Regatta is a fun, friendly and informal regatta designed to give pilots an easy entry into competition flying.
- Do you want to improve your cross country flying skills?
- Do you want to learn more about competition flying?
- Do you want to fly in a relaxed mentoring and coaching environment?
- Do you want to have some fun?
- If this sounds like you, then the Keepit Regatta is for you!
The idea is that this is a mentoring event where pilot pairs will fly together around AAT tasks. We match up early cross country pilots with a seasoned pro, and they compete together as a team, either in two gliders or in a twin. Only the slowest time of the pair is scored, so it is in the interest of the more experienced pilot to coach and assist right throughout the flight.
Coaching, team flying and mentoring are all encouraged at this event. Really, this is a great opportunity to introduce budding cross country pilots to competition type AAT flying, while not getting caught up in all the formal competition hoo-hah. It will be run in a low key and relaxed way, all the while making sure people have fun. Entries are restricted to 30 gliders.
We would like to get as many two seaters involved, so organise a few pilots from you club to share a two seater or two! We will be running a briefing session each morning where one of the experienced pilots will talk to a topic of interest of the pilots. We have lined up some hot comp pilots to mentor the less experienced pilots. So come along and learn from the best.
