Invitation to the 17th FAI European Gliding Championships

Dear gliding friends,

On behalf of local organisers from Vinon-sur-verdon (A.A.V.A.) and the French Gliding Federation (F.F.V.V.), I would like to invite all FAI nations to the 17th FAI Gliding Championships 2013 scheduled at Vinon-sur-verdon, France.

To maximize the participation, fun and safety, the organisation team is committed solely to following rules :

  • - The contest area will be restricted to the well-known and easy Southern French Alps.
  • - No task will be launched if the wind is too extreme.
  • - Tasks will be designed for high average speed for everybody by avoiding tricky areas which are known only by the locals. such fast tasks will improve safety and reduce the fatigue of pilots during an intense race week.

We want the best pilot to win, and not the best mountain pilot, without any accidents or intimidating task setting :

            " JUST SPORT, SUN AND FUN "
