Championship classes
Three classes:
- Club class will include all gliders without ballast (or with empty ballasts) with a handicap from 86 to 97 (both included) on the BGA handicap list (see “glider type” on the “inscription” page) before any additional performance enhancement handicap increments (see “H. Scoring”);
- 15m class will include all gliders with a handicap from 98 to 104 (both included) on the BGA handicap list (see “glider type” on the “inscription” page) before any additional performance enhancement handicap increments (see “H. Scoring”). Gliders from the Club Class are eligible to participate in the 15m class upon request of the pilot at the latest by the final entries due date;
- Open class will include all gliders with a handicap equal or superior to 105 on the BGA handicap list (see “glider type” on the “inscription” page) before any additional performance enhancement handicap increments (see “H. Scoring”). Gliders from the Club and 15m classes are eligible to participate in the Open class upon request of the pilot at the latest by the final entries due date.
Concerning the 2 seaters participating in the Belgian Gliding Nationals, both pilots need to have the Belgian nationality. The pilot-in-command will always be the same pilot and shall hold a valid licence. A listing of the “co-pilots” has to be given to the Organisation before the beginning of the competition.
Foreign nationality pilots are authorized to take part in the Competition. They will not be taken into account for point's classification in the Belgian Gliding Nationals 2012 but they will be classified in the results of the International Competition of Saint-Hubert 2012.
Note: if your glider is not mentioned in the attached listing, send us an email to: cnvvcbk@skynet.be
Max weight
Legend:
W: weight
MTOW = Max Take-Off Weight
FAI.MTOW: Max Take-Off Weight according to Sporting Code
WLPct: percentage of Max wing loading
T/O: take-Off
The weight of the gliders will be limited as follows:
Club class: FAI reference weight (see Sporting Code Section 3, Annex A)
15m and Open classes: the maximum weight allowed for the championships is
MaxWght = WLPct * FAI.MTOW
where
FAI.MTOW = MTOW (according to the glider's flight manual), if MTOW <= FAI_MaxClass
FAI.MTOW = FAI_MaxClass if MTOW > FAI_MaxClass
FAI 15m and FAI Standard class gliders: WLPct = 1.00; FAI_MaxClass = 525kg
FAI two-seater gliders: WLPct = 1.00; FAI_MaxClass = 750kg
FAI 18m class gliders: WLPct = 1.00; FAI_MaxClass = 600kg
FAI Open class gliders: WLPct = 1.00; FAI_MaxClass = 850kg
When needed for safety reasons (runway length, tow planes types and performances, grass runway...), the Director of the championship may decide to use the following factors (secondary factors):
Gliders flying in the 15m class: WLPct = 0.90
Gliders flying in the Open class: WLPct = 0.85
Further adjustment of the WLPct may be decided by the Director of the championship (at his discretion) if needed. In particular, in case a class is cancelled and the gliders from that class transferred to another, the WLPct might be adjusted to avoid penalizing one (or more) of the merged classes. In case of adjustments, the weight limits applicable for the day will be communicated during the briefing and through the information board at least one hour before grid time.
For technical reasons, towing plane are not allow to tow glider if it exceeds 700kgs. No transgression above the 700 kgs limit will be tolerated.
Self launching gliders are allowed to take off by their own mean, above this limit of 700kgs, but in accordance with their flight manual.
For club class, gliders exceeding reference weight will be penalized following FAI sporting code rules. If club class is merged with 15m class, FAI Club class gliders exceeding the calculated MaxWght when dry will be penalized the same way.
For 15m and Open class, weight checks will be done on a random basis. Each day minimum 10 gliders (overall) will be weighted. On the first control if they exceed the maximum allowed T/O weight they will NOT get any penalty but pilots will have to drop water to have the correct weight, or will incur a penalty if flying without water. This penalty enforced will be as defined by Sporting Code Section 3 Annex A. The pilot taken being overweight will have to be weighted the day after the first "positive" control and could be checked systematically the other days as well. If a glider is controlled in overweight for a second time, penalty will apply according to FAI sporting code rules.
For Club class, weight checks will be performed on a random basis. These are included in the minimum 10 gliders that will be weighed each day. Gliders exceeding reference weight will get a handicap increment as per Sporting Code rules, i.e. +0.5 per 10kg excess weight or part thereof. This increment will be added to the handicap and kept from either the first day of the championship (if the pilot declares during registration that he will be heavier) or from the day the glider is taken being in overweight until the end of the championship, unless they are re-weighed and exceed the previous adjusted limit (in that case, subsequent handicap increments are added). On the first time being taken in overweight, the glider will get a scoring penalty of (n x W x 2 pts), where “n” is the number of valid tasks already flown at the time of the weighing, and “W” is the excess weight in kilograms. This penalty will count against the next valid task scored. If there is no next valid task scored, the penalty will count against the pilot's total score at the end of the championship. If the glider is taken in overweight a second time, then “n” will be the number of valid tasks flown since the previous weighing of that glider and “W” the additional weight compared to the previous weighing. If the glider is weighed after getting handicap increments and is not exceeding ref weight anymore, the handicap increments will stay.
The weighting procedure will be communicated during the initial briefings.

D. Pilots
Entry fee:
• €190 (€75 for pilots less than 25 years old on January 1st 2012 included)
Ticket:
• 5 tickets €42 (TBC) for towing (5 x 42 = 210€)
• 5 tickets €10/start for selflaunchers (5 x 10 = 50€)
to be paid in advance BEFORE 10 April 2012 on the bank account:
IBAN: BE20271031517756
BIC: GEBABEBB
The dedicated and up-dated Weight & Balance sheet for each glider has to be send to the
Competition Organization with the registration on the website.
Entry fee and the first five tickets have to be paid before 10 April 2012.
Entry fee is completely refundable if the participation is cancelled before 10 April 2012.
Entry fee is refundable at 50 percent if the participation is canceled between 10 April and 28 April excluded when the contest is declared open.
Entry fee is NOT refundable if the participation is cancelled when the contest is declared open.
NO exceptions will be made whatever is the reason.
Please note that registration through the Championship Internet site is MANDATORY and is the only way to register. Registration is complete only when the entry fee and the first 5 tickets have been paid on the bank account mentioned above, which is the only possible way to pay your registration.
Tickets which have not been used will be completely refunded by the organisation.
Number of allowable entries per class:
Minimum 6. If there are less than 6 participants in a class on the first competition day, the class is cancelled. The gliders of the cancelled class will be transferred and mixed to the closest class (Club with 15 m, 15m with Open and Open with 15m) and will take part to the championship of that class. Nevertheless, the Quality Factor of the class which will integrate these pilots will not be modified as a consequence of the presence of additional pilots.
Example : if only 3 pilots are registered on the first day of the competition in the Club class and 12 pilots are registered in the 15m class, the 3 pilots of the Club class will integrate the 15m class but the quality factor of the 15m class will remain unchanged because the factor will be calculated on the basis of 12 pilots and not 15 pilots.
Total number of allowable entries:
Maximum 60.
Documentation required:
For the glider:
Certificate of registration, Certificate of airworthiness and Airworthiness Review Certificate valid for the duration of the competition – certificate of Third party insurance
For the pilot:
Glider Pilot's License valid for the duration of the competition - Recent VFR map of the contest area.
Third party insurance for the glider will comply with the legal regulations (EU 785/2004) and will cover
Up to 500 kg: €1.000.000
Between 500 kg and 1000 kg: €2.000.000
Two-seaters: €325.000 in addition to amounts mentioned before
E. Technical requirement

H. Competition procedures
Contest site boundaries
48:30:00N 005:00:00E - 48:00:00N 005:00:00E - 48:00:00N 003:00:00E - 52:00:00N 003:00:00E - 52:00:00N 0010:00:00E - 48:00:00N 0010:00:00E - 48:00:00N 005:00:00E - 48:30:00N 005:00:00E - 49:30:00N 009:00:00E - 51:00:00N 009:00:00E - 51:00:00N 006:30:00E - 50:00:00N 004:00:00E (Including all TP's given in the TP database)
Launch procedure for motor gliders:
Motor gliders are authorised and allowed to take off with their own means of propulsion. They have to proceed to the release area and climb not higher than 600m QFE with engine operating. However, if they perform a launch with a tow plane, once released, they have to perform an engine check for a maximum of 2 minutes and climbing not higher than the normal release altitude (600m QFE). If they have to restart the engine, the flight is considered as finished even if the start line has not been crossed.
Areas where continuous circling is prohibited:
None, but avoid as much as you can the start lines areas.
Circling direction:
For safety reason, circle direction is imposed to the left in a circle of 10 km centered on EBSH. It is heavily recommended not to exceed an air speed of 150 km/hr in the same cylinder.
Types of start:
Start line of 10 km width. The opening of the start line will be 20 min after the launch of the last glider of each class.
Radio procedures for announcing a start:
The start time has to be announced not later than 30 min after a valid start has been taken. The start time will be given to the organizer either by the ground crew, or by the pilot himself on the relevant frequency (the frequency will be announced during the initial briefing).
Altitude procedure for start:
The maximum altitude will be given during the daily briefing according to the airspace limitations.
Time interval between start:
None.
Aerotow retrieve:
Authorised but the pilot has to contact the organization first.
Type of finishes:
Circle of 2 Km around Saint-Hubert Airport (TP Saint-Hubert in the data base)
Min and max alt for finishing:
Min 50m AGL EBSH - Max 500m AGL EBSH when entering within the circle of 2 km. Penalties will apply as defined by Sporting Code Section 3 Annex A. Low passes (passing at high speed above EBSH at less than 50 m AGL before joining safely the landing pattern in use) prohibited except if explicit authorization given by the organization of the Championship and according to the guidance given by the Flight Director only by radio contact, AFTER glider has passed the finish line. Penalties for low passes without authorization will be 50 points for first offence, disqualification for the day for next offences. In any case, even if performing a low pass, the pilot has first to cross the finish line as stated hereabove.
Landing procedure:
The pilot has to join the standard official visual pattern of the runway in use published for St Hubert as soon as he crossed the 2 Km finish circle. The pilot may, on his own responsibility, perform a direct landing or a modified pattern, if authorized by radio by the Flight Director.
Handling of flight documents:
Handling of flight documents: a SD card, CF card, or USB stick with the primary flight recorder file of the day has to be given to the organizers max 60min after landing on EBSH, or as soon as arriving back at the airfield when landing out.
The organizers will NOT take the FR themselves.
I. Scoring
Type of scoring system
FAI type of scoring with BGA handicap (see website) - see FAI sporting code for calculation. Additional performance enhancement (not part of the original design) will attract the following handicap increments:
- Span: +1 per 50cm or part thereof;
- Winglets: +1, unless part of the original design, or marked with a (w) on the list, or for gliders with a span of 21 meters or more prior to modification;
- Wing root fairings: +0.5, unless the modification is manufacturer specified on a later derivative of the same glider design enjoying the same handicap.
Use of boundary layer de-turbulating resonance composite film and similar technologies is prohibited.
Outlandings:
Virtual outlandings are authorised.
M factor:
NO bonus will be given if a pilot lands back on the field after completing the task.
J. Protest
Value of the protest fee: €150. The sum will be given back if the complaint is justified.
K. Doping
Doping undermines the values of sport and the use of doping agents and methods by glider pilots could have consequences for the future of gliding sport.
Anti-doping regulations, policies and declarations have been adopted by nations and national and international sport organisations. Belgium, through its Flemish, French and German-speaking Communities, has ratified the Copenhagen Declaration on Anti-doping in sport dated March 2003. Following this declaration the Communities have promulgated specific legal regulations which have to be respected on their respective areas of competence.
International and national regulations applicable for the competition can be found on following Internet sites:
http://www.wada-ama.org (World Anti-doping Agency)
http://www.dopage.be (Regulations applicable in the Belgian French Community)
Following the regulations of the French Community the International Competition of Saint-Hubert 2012 - Belgian Gliding National 2012 will be declared to the authorities prior to the competition. Controls could be executed on a random basis. They will not affect the overall conduct of the Competition.
A pilot who would be found positive after a doping control would risk being disqualified and/or run out of the competition by a decision of the jury on proposition of the Director of the Competition. Specific or legal procedures could also be undertaken consequently against the pilot by the Belgian Gliding Federation and by the Belgian authorities according to the applicable regulations.
