2012 Canadian Team Cross-country Soaring Seminar

The Canadian Team and Canadian Advanced Soaring are happy to announce that the 2012 Soaring Seminar will be held in Montreal on Sat 31 March. The Canadian Team and Advanced Soaring Seminar is scheduled for Sat 31 March 2012 at the CBC/ radio-canada located at 1400 Rene-Levesque Boulevard East, Montreal. The cost for the day is $40 (please bring exact change - cash is preferred) and all proceeds go to the Canadian Team which will be competing at the World Gliding Championships in Uvalde, Texas. All four team members will be at the seminar to share their knowledge and experience with the audience. There is no meal this year since the CBC building does not have a restaurant, but there are many lunch options within walking distance. An hour and a half has been allowed for lunch to give everyone enough time to find a nice bistro. RSVP's are required as the security services in the CBC building need a list of names before we arrive. Please RSVP to dave "at" foxonecorp "dot" com before Wed 28 March. Please don't wait until the last minute! 2012 Seminar Schedule 900 Arrival/setup 930 Registration 1000 Soaring Weather Forecasting Dave Springford 1100 Cross-country and competition planning and training using Condor Nick Bonniere 1200 Lunch ADVANCED * Advanced sessions are aimed at pilots who have completed their silver badge and are working towards their 300 km and contests 1330 MaCready Theory and how to use it Ron Smith 1430 Transitioning to Advanced Cross-country and Contest Flying Jerzy Szemplinski NOVICE ** Novice sessions are for pilots who are new to cross-country and looking to complete their silver badge 1330 Getting Started with Cross Country and Contests Piere Gavilet 1400 Landing out Safely Derek Mackie 1445 Thermalling Basics Dave Springford Everyone 1530 Planning for and flying the wave in Lake Placid Roger Hildesheim
