Centenaire De La Fai

[Administrateur]

Bonjour,

 

La Commission Sportive FFVV et les organisateurs de la NetCoupe vous proposent de participer au centenaire de la FAI en inscrivant tous vos vols du 9 juillet au 24 juillet 2005 à la NetCoupe2005 : http://www.netcoupe.net/

 

Les kilomètres parcourus seront collectés par la NetCoupe et directement transmis à la FAI. Cette démarche simple pour tous les pilotes permettra de collecter un nombre plus important de kilomètres et de représenter les pilotes français au niveau mondial.

 

Un compteur kilométrique a été mis en ligne sur http://www.netcoupe.net/ et comptabilisera tous les kilomètres enregistrés entre 9 juillet au 24 juillet 2005 !

 

Bons vols,

 

Frederic et Samuel

A ce jour (25/07/2005) : Total kilometres FRANCE centenaire FAI : 310383,3 kms

 

Vous pouvez continuer a enregistrer tous vos vols effectué entre le 9 juillet et 24 juillet 2005 en declarant tout simplement vos vols à la Netcoupe : http://www.netcoupe.net

 

L'objectif est de pouvoir annoncer que les planeurs parcourent 'n' centaines de millers de km sur une période donnée. Ce chiffre servira ensuite d'argument lors de négociation avec nos différents partenaires institutionnels (bienveillants ou non, d'ailleurs).

 

Alors plus que jamais, faîtes chauffer les bords d'attaque, allumer vos enregistreurs de vol et décoller tôt : chaque km compte, même en local!

 

Merci pour votre participation et bons vols

Subject: RE: [igc - Gliding]French Centenary Gliding Weeks

 

Dear Frederic and Samuel,

 

Thank you for your update regarding the flights performed during the FAI/IGC

Centenary gliding weeks by the French pilots and reported on NetCoupe. The

French numbers are quite impressive!

 

This brings the total kilometers flown during the FAI/IGC Gliding weeks

celebration (Northern Hemisphere + Southern Hemisphere) to 2,511, 421 kms.

 

I wonder if there are any other online competitions in Europe that record

this information for pilots that do not file their flights with the OLC?

 

Best regards,

 

Eric Mozer

 

Encore bravo a tous les participants !

IGC Gliding Weeks - IGC Celebration event for the FAI Centenary

 

Based on the feedback from the IGC Plenum at the February 2004 meeting in Lausanne,

the IGC FAI Centenary sub-committee (Bob Henderson, Tor Johannessen, and Eric

Mozer) developed plans for the gliding portion of the celebration, IGC Gliding Weeks.

For IGC Gliding Weeks glider pilots around the world tracked their kilometers flown

during specific two week periods in each hemisphere.

 

Pilots submitted their flights via a link on the IGC website http://www.fai.org/gliding/. The total numbers of kilometersflown was reported at the October 2005 FAI Centenary celebration in Paris, France.

 

The On Line Contest (OLC) at www.olc.eu.com. and the French NetCoupe were used to

log and record the flights. The total distance flown was an astounding 2,511,421 kms,

achieved with a massive 5,224 flights. This is equivalent to 62.5 times around the Earth!

IGC/FAI Centenary diplomas were awarded to the pilots from each hemisphere that made

the longest flight in any of the FAI classes of gliders.

 

The summary of the winners:

By all accounts, the IGC weeks were an interesting project with stunning results and

participation. The efforts on behalf of IGC by the OLC group, in particular Axel Reich

and Oliver Rennert, was tremendous and the IGC should give them a huge thank you.
