Spot landing competition ... The Results!

The Spot Landing Competition on Sunday 15th January was held on Sunday 15th January in almost perfect weather! The contest consists of each competitor climbing to 2000 feet to the south of the Airfield, then moving to the overhead in preparation for a glide descent to land as near as possible to the centre of the fixed distance markers opposite the PAPI lights. Each competitor has 2 attempts with an Instructor aboard at all times to liase with ATC, mark the landing and calm the 'red mist' of competition that overcomes some competitors as they near the landing mark...The weather was CAVOK with a South Easterly breeze and 35 pilots turned out throughout the day, which kept 3 aeroplanes busy until bad light stopped play! Thank to all of you for your support and making the day such a success, the results are as follows;

3rd (joint) Tim Hancock / Sean Morvan  45/100

2nd Dale Curtin  60/100

1st  Derik Mare  75/100
