NATIONAL LADDER RULES 1. Any pilot who has permission to fly cross country may take part. 2. Flights may be made anywhere in the U.K. in any glider, except that no flights in any competition for which entry forms are required may count. Points will only be awarded to the P1 in a two-seater. 3. The current BGA handicap (SI) will apply to the calculation of all open- ended tasks. An adjusted handicap (Slh) will apply to all closed circuit tasks. 4. The year will start on October 1 st and end on September 30th. 5. There will be two separate ladder competitions: - (a) The Open Ladder (for any glider), (b) The Club Ladder (for flights in club owned gliders only). Flights in private gliders may only be entered in the Open, but flights in club gliders may be entered in either ladder (but any one flight may only be entered in one ladder). 6. A pilot may enter up to four flights in each ladder but only two in each ladder may be height gains. 7. The pilot's word will be accepted for rounding of turning points and for flight times. Barograph traces must be shown to Club Ladder Stewards for height claims. 8. Distance flights must be at least 50km and comply with the 1 % rule. Declarations if made, must be made before take-off. Any flight may have up to three turning points, and these may be rounded with the flexibility permitted by FAI Badge Rules provided the flight is a genuine distance badge attempt. Start, finish and turning points must be features shown on 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey maps. 9. CALCULATION OF POINTS a) Distance marks Undeclared flights (completed or not) d x 100 SI or Slh Declared flights (completed or not) 2 x d x 100 SI or Slh where d= distance in km. Sl= speed index for open-ended tasks. Slh= speed index for completed closed circuit tasks, (see BGA Speed Index Table, published overleaf for values of SI and Slh) b) Speed marks (declared, completed tasks only) 1) The airfield boundary will constitute the start and finish lines; alterna­ tively, recognisable features away from the airfield may be declared for either or both, provided that the start and finish are within 2km of each other. 2) The start line must be crossed below the lower of 1000 metres or 1 % of the distance, above the height of the finish line. 3) Speed points will be awarded as follows (in addition to distance marks). 23

NATIONAL LADDER RULES<br />

1. Any pilot who has permission to fly cross country may take part.<br />

2. Flights may be made anywhere in the U.K. in any glider, except that no<br />

flights in any competition for which entry forms are required may count.<br />

Points will only be awarded to the P1 in a two-seater.<br />

ended tasks. An adjusted handicap (Slh) will apply to all closed circuit<br />

tasks.<br />

4. The year will start on October 1 st and end on September 30th.<br />

5. There will be two separate ladder competitions: - (a) The Open Ladder<br />

(for any glider), (b) The <strong>Club</strong> Ladder (for flights in club owned gliders only).<br />

Flights in private gliders may only be entered in the Open, but flights in<br />

club gliders may be entered in either ladder (but any one flight may only be<br />

entered in one ladder).<br />

6. A pilot may enter up to four flights in each ladder but only two in each<br />

ladder may be height gains.<br />

7. The pilot's word will be accepted for rounding of turning points and for<br />

flight times. Barograph traces must be shown to <strong>Club</strong> Ladder Stewards for<br />

height claims.<br />

8. Distance flights must be at least 50km and comply with the 1 % rule.<br />

Declarations if made, must be made before take-off. Any flight may have<br />

up to three turning points, and these may be rounded with the flexibility<br />

permitted by FAI Badge Rules provided the flight is a genuine distance<br />

badge attempt. Start, finish and turning points must be features shown on<br />

1:50,000 Ordnance Survey maps.<br />

9. CALCULATION OF POINTS<br />

a) Distance marks<br />

Undeclared flights (completed or not) d x 100<br />

SI or Slh<br />

Declared flights (completed or not) 2 x d x 100<br />

SI or Slh<br />

where d= distance in km.<br />

Sl= speed index for open-ended tasks.<br />

Slh= speed index for completed closed circuit tasks,<br />

(see BGA Speed Index Table, published overleaf for values of SI<br />

and Slh)<br />

b) Speed marks (declared, completed tasks only)<br />

1) The airfield boundary will constitute the start and finish lines; alterna­<br />

tively, recognisable features away from the airfield may be declared for<br />

either or both, provided that the start and finish are within 2km of each<br />

other.<br />

2) The start line must be crossed below the lower of 1000 metres or 1 % of<br />

the distance, above the height of the finish line.<br />

3) Speed points will be awarded as follows (in addition to distance<br />

marks).<br />
