Date

Euroglide 2006 will take place from Monday June 12th until Saturday June 24th.

 

Itinerary

The organisation is studying several options for the 2006 itinerary, that definitely will pas through France. As airspace restrictions are increasing, it is very difficult to keep the number of turnpoints limited. The image below shows one of the options. We're looking for a convenient passage to enter France from the south-west of Germany. As always, high mountains will be avoided.

 

Rules

The 2006 rules will be similar to the 2004 rules. Small improvements are anticipated.

 

Equipment

In general the itinerary will not pass directly through controlled airspace (or is easily to navigate around). However, because of the ever increasing airspace restrictions it is very convenient, and therefore recommended to have an RT-License. On the long term (Euroglide 2008?) carrying transponders might become inevitable.
