Speed Rally
The Speed Rally is similar to the Fun Navigation Rally, except that it is rally against a pre-determined handicap speed and there is no plotting required.
For the New Tempe Speed Rally on 23 August we have incorporated a Standard and a Short route to allow slower planes to take part:
- The Standard Route is ~120Nm and will start after briefing. Cost is R1500 for SAPFA members or R1700 for non-members.
- The Short Route is ~65Nm and will start after the Standard Route is finished. Cost is R600 but SAPFA members or R800 for non-members.
- Competitors doing the Standard Route can take part in the Short Route as well at no extra cost.
Before your flight, you will receive two maps and a set of turn point photos. The map will contain a pre-plotted route with magnetic headings. The turn point photos are in line of flight and are clearly marked features.
The objective is to fly the route in the shortest time possible against your handicap speed, which is unique to you and your aircraft. Scoring is best speed against the declared handicap, but flying accurately will help as the more you wander off course, the longer the route will take you to complete.
Come join us for what promises to be a fun event.
