17 mile cross country from burns flat to flying aces field. (Not a speed race)

Goal is to see how close you can get to a pre flown timed flight. Need to allow 30-40 minutes of fuel for unexpected situations such as wind, etc.

 7:00a.m. – Breakfast at Rudy’s café in Burns Flat.

8:00a.m. – Check in at staging area (Follow signs)

8:30a.m. – 1^st takeoff  (others every 2-3 minutes)

 Rules

1. Will be under frequency control from flying field as fly-in will be in progress.
2. Maps will be supplied at check-in. Can also get them at club website – easy route.
3. Vehicle & driver required – most common is pickup.
4. A seat of some type securely fastened in back of pickup.
5. Some form of communication between driver and pilot.
6. Timed flight will begin when wheels lift off & end when wheels touch down. (Bounced landing or touch & go does not count. Wheels have to remain on ground).
7. In case of tied times, the tying time moves to next lower place and that place moves down, if 3^rd place is tied, the tying time is dropped.

 If you have never done this – try it! It’s fun!

If you don’t know how to set up extra tank or tanks, e-mail or call & we will explain. You need to test fly to make sure system works & get the feel of it. Tip – Goggles are good – keeps wind out of eyes.

 Directions to X-country

 From I-40 take exit 53 – 7 miles south to Burns Flat. Meet at Rudy’s café (TEXACO). We will then go to the takeoff area from there.
