3.C5 PRECISION CIRCUIT IN THE SHORTEST TIME (‘Clover leaf slalom’)

New text in the end of Special rules:

- Recommended wind limit for this task is 2 m/s

Reason

Modern flying techniques of paramotor precision flying for competition purposes achieved the level where the wing’s aerodynamic qualities are often utilized at their limits.

To avoid accident risk associated with possible collapses induced by flying through competitor’s own wake, maximum wind limit recommendations for some tasks should be applied for organizers.
