FAI Competition Rules
Following the meeting of the FAI Parachuting Commission (IPC), the competition rules for the year 2000 for the various parachuting disciplines are being made available on the FAI Web Site at http://www.fai.org/parachuting/documents/.
For the moment the following documents have been published:
- 2000 competition rules for freestyle skydiving, skysurfing and Freeflying
- 2000 competition rules for canopy formation
The competition rules for the other disciplines, as well as the 2000 edition of Section 5 of the FAI Sporting Code, will be added to the web site in the near future.
A report is now available from the Formation Skydiving Committee of the FAI Parachuting Commission, explaining the changes made to the competition rules for the year 2000. This document also reports on the Annual Meeting of the FAI Parachuting Commission from the committee's perspective.
The document can be found at at http://www.fai.org/parachuting/committees/fs/explain2000.asp
Family Big Way in England
Arthur Gibson is planning a big way this summer at Netheravon in UK. The idea is to get as many parents and children on the dive. i.e. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. He already has a 20-way. Anyone who wants to join them, please send Arthur an email at artygibson@aol.com. Netheravon will have their new Grand Caravan by Easter so with that plus three Islanders, there is scope for some fun! The ideal weekend fo this event is the early May Bank Holiday Monday with lots of practice on the Saturday and Sunday.
