Današnji vremenski pogoji so omogočali lepe lete tako proti zahodu, kot tudi na vzhod. Baza oblakov v Karavankah je bila popoldne na višinah nad 2000m QNH, v okolici Lienza in naprej proti zahodu pa še cca. 1000m višje. V okolici letališča se je popoldne razvilo nekaj ploh, ki so znatno poslabšale termične pogoje za jadranje. Kljub temu piloti, ki so prihajali z zahoda niso imeli težav pri doletu na naše letališče, kjer so vsi tudi varno pristali. Večina pilotov je v Sloveniji letela prvič in po pristanku niso mogli skriti navdušenja nad pokrajino, čudovitimi razgledi in pogoji, ki so jih bili danes deležni. Po pristanku je sledil briefing, na katerem je Boštjan Pristavec, vodja tekmovanja, tekmovalce seznanil z nekaj ključnimi informacijami o varnem izvajanju letalskih operacij na našem letališču. Jutri gre že skoraj zares, saj je na sporedu uradni trening. O dogajanju bomo ves čas tekmovanja redno poročali, tako da vam nobena pomembna informacija ne bo ušla. Seveda pa bomo veseli, če nas obiščete in si tudi sami v živo ogledate vrhunska jadralna letala in pilote na delu. Vabljeni! Tukaj je tudi prva fotogalerija, fotke pa sta prispevala naš član Luka Hojnik in nemški tekmovalec Tilo Holighaus, ki leti letalo Ventus 3, s tekmovalno oznako 3V. Hvala Tilo!

Today’s weather conditions allowed for beautiful flights both towards the West and to the East. The cloud base in the Karawanks region was above 2000m QNH, while around Lienz and further towards the West, it was approximately 1000m higher. In the vicinity of the airfield, some showers developed in the afternoon, significantly deteriorating the thermal conditions. Nevertheless, pilots coming from the West had no trouble reaching our airfield, where they all safely landed. Most pilots flew in Slovenia for the first time and after landing, they were amazed by the landscape, stunning views, and conditions they experienced today. After landing, a briefing followed in which Boštjan Pristavec, the race director, informed the competitors on key safety aspects of flying at our airfield. Tomorrow, the official training takes place, so things are getting more serious. We will provide regular updates throughout the competition so that you won’t miss any important information. We’ll be delighted if you give us a visit and witness firsthand the state-of-the-art gliders and their pilots in action. We are also sharing the first photo gallery, with photos contributed by our member Luka Hojnik and the German competitor Tilo Holighaus, flying the Ventus 3 glider with competition number 3V.
