First launch expected starting from 11:30
Thursday, 18. May 2023 - 10:45

For today, meteorologist Jupp predicts partly good thermal conditions, however, humid air will enter our competition area from the southeast in the afternoon. This is expected to lead to spreading and a significant increase in humidity, which may affect the thermals. Base altitudes of up to 2000m above sea level are expected.

Day6

The tasks for all 5 classes head west / southwest. All pilots have to fly a traditional speed task between 300 and 400k today.

The 18m class will once again be the 1st class to take off. They have 344k on the task sheet:
