We have finished the launching procedure of 136 gliders in 70 minutes. Meanwhile couple of local rainshowers passed our area. It was a complication for a few pilots. Three of them are waiting for second start right now.

We are getting ready to compete. First launch is confirmed to 12.00 !

2017-04-16 10:51:59

It is after the briefing. First start is planned for 12 pm. There are already a lot of cumulus clouds above us with base about 1000m qnh. We expect cloud base to reach approx. 1600-1800m in our area and about 2000m in the north and east of Nitra. Thermal development will be very fast, quite strong thermals expected but strong N-W wind could complicate the situation. See more in section Weather with all ours forecast presentations.

After a cold front passed our area from the west during the night we woke up into a morning with sky covered by high level clouds. The cirrus clouds are continually moving towards the east and disappearing as well. Quite strong and cold north-west wind is blowing. But the most important - the sun just started to shine here which make us more optimistic. More about the weather after the briefing as usually at 10 am in the hangar.
