Removal of the following tasks
2.B1 SPEED TRIANGLE OUT-AND-RETURN
2.B2 SPEED TRIANGLE & TURNPOINT HUNT
2.B3 SPLIT SQUARE
2.B4 FUEL & SPEED TRIANGLE
2.B5 LIMITED FUEL TURNPOINT HUNT
2.B6 DURATION
2.B7 DURATION & SPEED
Reason
The tasks affected are either economy or speed tasks or both, combined
with some other challenges. Considering the upcoming new types of
microlights with changed weight and performance together with the older
ones in one class, such kind of tasks are no longer useful and fair. The result
of such a competition task depends almost only from the performance of
the aircraft, but not from the pilots skill.
