[Jetman]

Hi Guys ,

The Gauteng Rookie/Master Microlight Championships is been held at the Bapsfontein airfield on the 23 and 24 May 2009.

The Evening of the 22 May 2009 will be registration. Fee = R400.00 per person. The main purpose of this competition is to introduce competition flying at a very basic level to all microlight pilots. You can fly with your wife/ girlfriend /friend /son/daughter/ instructor ect. as your navigator. The first official task briefing will be held that same evening(22 May). The intention is to fly a minimum of two comp tasks daily and finish on the Sunday. If all goes to plan we should be able to have a prize giving/trophy hand out and a good braai the Sunday.

All the planning and effort will be wasted if the instructors do not motivate participation .This is the perfect platform for all instructor and pilots to enhance there knowledge and really get to know and understand there aircraft.

Please support the sport we all love and enter or encourage other pilots to enter. If you're not sure what competition flying is all about or if you have any queries, please phone me(Hendrik Loots) 0n 083 2550 639). For entry details you can phone me on the same number.

Regards
