The fun way to sample competition and improve your cross-country skills!

Lake Keepit Soaring Club's annual Regatta is a fun, friendly and informal cross country event to introduce people to cross country competition. Entries are restricted to 30 glider (due to tug availability etc). 

The basic idea is that this is a mentoring event where pilot pairs are scored together around an AAT task. So 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. 

So 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.

We like to get two seaters involved, so organise a few pilots from you club to share a two seater or two!

Briefing session are run each morning where one of the experienced pilots will talk on a topic of interest of the pilots. There are some hot comp pilots to mentor the less experienced pilots. So come along and learn from the best.
