FOURTH INTERNATIONAL PRECISION FLYING AND NAVIGATION EXERCISE OF LACHUTE

For the fourth year the Chapter along with Copa Flight 118 of Lachute held a "Precision Flying Exercise" out of Lachute on October 1st. The weather conditions could not be better: unlimited visibility and ceiling, no wind, and to make it easier for the teams this year the course turning points were given.

Seven teams showed up (slightly disappointing) and enjoyed themselves trying to locate along the course the 15 pictures that rally veteran organizer Rad Skrivanic had selected, cropped, turned upside down etc.. Well, in spite of all efforts to make things easy, not too many pictures were located.

The last turning point was Chapter member Steve Szabad's farm. As these lines are being written he is still on his front porch waiting for airplanes to fly over...

Luckily all teams made it back safely to Lachute.

The landings were assessed for their "elegance" by three impartial judges. Here things went better for (most) competitors.

As for the previous years DICOM heavily sponsored the event (thanks to Stan Michaleski) as well as Kejy Aviation and everybody received a prize!

Thank you to Chapter members that came to help: Eddy Dumalo, Louis Beaulieu. Thanks to Kejy for hosting us and thanks to Paulo... of Lachute who took part in the landings assessment.

Once again it was a fun day! See the results (click here) and the pictures below.
