The pilots had their first Briefing this morning, our alleged practice day.
Event Director Roland Stuck welcomed the pilots to Dubai and explained that he was not optimistic that a practice race will take place today.
Instead, we will spend the first half of the day preparing the gliders, with the goal of being ready to launch when the single towplane shows up. Due to scheduling conflicts with the ANR event, and due to the fact that we will have only one towplane today, our "practice" will consist of simulated racing and testing of the tracking/scoring system. This is a bit of a disappointment to the Organisers, but the pilots are taking it in stride.
While the gliders are flying, Roland will be working hard to get a guarantee of two towplanes for tomorrow.
Tonight will be the Opening Ceremony.
