Flying in Porepunkah Recently the Porepunkah Airfield Information Sheet has been published on the website for downloading.

Further to this sheet I suggest you read the hill soaring section pages 118 - 121 in the book supplied to you by the club entitled Basic Gliding Knowledge.

The Special Rules for Hill Soaring mentioned in that section is very important, so I will repeat them below.

  1. All turns must be outwards, i.e. away from the hill. 
  2. A glider overtaking another glider when hill soaring shall do so by passing between the overtaken glider and the hill.
  3. If two gliders approach each other head-on while hill soaring, the glider which has the hill to its left shall give way by turning away from the hill.
  4. When hill soaring, a glider shall not be flown lower than 100 feet above ground when within 100 metres horizontally of a person, dwelling or public road.
