There are few gliders above the airfield climbing 3 m/s. It seem like the clouds are still active. 15m class is heading towards the last area so we are expecting first landings soon.

The window has already come and first cumulus cloud is visible on the south. A probative flight with Blanik is going to try the thermals and we will see. Most likely the starts will start as planned. 

2012-04-11 11:38:27

A promising news from the meteorologist. There is a small window coming towards our area from the south.

2012-04-11 10:34:32

The briefing is over and there is an intention to fly. The weather situation does not look very optimistic with the thermals. Plenty of middle and high clouds are covering the sky and our area is influenced by the low pressure. Due to the strong southern wind there should be the possibility to use the ridge flying. All classes received assigned area tasks with the task time 2 hours. All tasks were set up on ridge and there should be a chance to complete that even without thermals. This day will be a big challenge for all of us. Launching is planned for 12:30. 

2012-04-11 09:43:13

The weather does not favour us and the high and middle layer clouds have covered the sky. The wind is strong so the task setters are having a hard to create a proper tasks for competitors. The briefing starts at 10:00. 

2012-04-11 08:02:26

Good Morning everybody!

We woke up into the sunny day. There are high clouds on the sky and the strong southern wind is blowing. We hope for an another flying day. Grid opens at 8:30 and the runway in use is 15.
