Add:
In Paramotor tasks where the task time is limited, the director may include planning as part of the total task time by starting the clock when the pilot starts his planning.
Reason
This proposal allows pilots to decide whether they make a rough flight plan and start flying soon, or they design a careful plan but then they have less time to follow it.
This is only suitable for paramotors as long as the take-off procedures for microlights are more rigid.
