Abandoned/Terminated Tasks
Abandoned Leg |
|
Definition: The pilot did not reach a turnpoint (or even the start) on a declared task, but continued with the remainder of the task (ie: towards the next turnpoint) while remaining in soaring flight throughout. |
|
Notes |
- Enter the position at which the leg was abandoned - NOT the position of the missed turnpoint.
- The scoring distance for the leg into and out from the abandoned turnpoint is modified by the distance from the point of abandonment to the missed turnpoint.
- Abandoned task scoring applies only to declared tasks where the glider remains in soaring flight throughout.
- No more than one point of abandonment may be used in a single task. Any subsequent failure to reach a declared turnpoint will count as a task termination.
- The 10% task completion bonus does not apply to abandoned tasks, even if the finish point is reached.

Terminated Task (aka Landout) |
|
Definition: A terminated task is one in which the pilot is unable to, or chooses not to, continue with soaring flight. |
|
Notes |
a) Landing out.
b) Engine start.
c) Failure to reach a turnpoint having already used an earlier point of abandonment.
d) Pilot selected flight termination at any point on the GPS track.
