Cross Country

The location is the SVSS field in Davis California. The entry fee of $10 per team, will be collected at the field. The field will be open for practice and fun flying on Friday. A Motel 6 is only four miles from the field at I-80 & Mace Blvd in Davis (530) 753-3777. Winches open after brief pilots meeting around 9:30 on both days. The format will be 2 hour POST (pilot option speed task) on Saturday flying the 26 mile distance course and FAI speed on Sunday flying the 16 mile speed course with the same remote start/finish as last year. For those not familiar with XC tasks the 2 hour POST is a speed task where teams must fly at least 2 hours and cover as much distance as possible. Final distance is divided by time to determine average speed. Teams that cannot make the 2 hour minimum time are still counted only their distance is divided by 2 hours so for instance, team A flies 10 miles but lands out after only 1 hour of flight time. Team A's average speed is 10 miles divided by the 2 hour minimum = 5 mph. So you can see why flying the minimum of 2 hours is critical to being able to place well.
