of the Annual Meeting of the
FAI Hang Gliding & Paragliding Commission
To be held in Lausanne, Switzerland
on 16th and 17th February 2013
Annex 1 - Joint HG-PG Open Meeting http://www.fai.org/component/phocadownl ... en-meeting16. Report & proposals from the HG Subcommittee – Oyvind Ellefsen
See Annex 18 of the Plenary Agenda.
See Annex 2 of these Minutes, reporting on the HG Open Meeting.
1. Prototypes – Agreed that for fairness, prototypes are not allowed in Cat 1s. But we need for prototypes to
be allowed in Cat 2 events. Important for development. Checking prototypes: actions identified to collect data
from manufacturers, specify measurements to be taken (easily). Set penalties to discourage cheats and
encourage manufacturers to cooperate.
2. Pitch safety/sprogs: positive feedback from Forbes. No-one is complaining on this important safety issue.
Teams have own devices and have had training on measurements.
3. S7 change proposal – Correction to a misplaced paragraph from last year (penalties for sprog
measurement violations) to 12.3.4. The penalty paragraph under Ballast (S7a 12.7.2) should be under 12.3.4
(structural limits). OE Proposed to add to agenda. KdK seconded.
Vote passed with no votes against.
Vote on S7 correction. OE proposed. KdK seconded.
Vote: passed with no votes against.
3. Archaeopteryx – The glider had been excluded from last Class 2 Worlds because there had been no proof
that it was foot launch and landable in nil wind conditions. Video has now been received (and reviewed) to
prove it. HF SC approved it, so it is now eligible to enter sanctioned HG Class 2 Championships.
4. Sport Class – Discussions have centred around defining the gliders, but not the pilots. Always been
assumed it is for pilots not wishing to fly higher performing Class 1, giving them a chance for their own
championship and medals. But under existing rules, it is possible that Class 1 pilots could enter, which
defeats the original aim. SC has been considering excluding pilots that have flown a Class 1 HG in a Cat 1
event. Much disagreement. SC will talk to organisers in Annecy on their plans and intentions, and review
after Test Event.
5. Proposal to clarify airspace infringements rule – Existing rule not clear on what happens if you infringe
twice in a task. The proposal makes it more specific in terms of extent and duration of infringement.
OE proposed to add to agenda. Seconded KdK.
Discussion highlighted that some further modifications are needed. SC agreed that this proposal is
withdrawn for consideration during the year. It should also be considered for S7b.
6. Safety: Have worked on fixing rules and equipment. Now need a change in culture/mindset of pilots who
will fly in anything that has been set as a task. Need to address task setting in poor conditions.
7. Proposal: to research whether other sports’ helmet standards can be qualified as equivalent or ‘better’
than EN966 for flying. Proposed rule change is designed to incentivise the work group and future-proof the
rule by allowing for the possibility. Proposed OE. Seconded by KdK.
SM: The CIVL Helmet WG concluded two years ago that there is no easy way to determine whether another
sport helmet standard is ‘better’ or equivalent to EN966.
Vote to add to Agenda: Proposed OE. Seconded by KdK.
Vote to add to Agenda: passed with no votes against.
Vote on proposal: passed with 3 votes against.
8. Harnesses: how to fix problem of pilots forgetting to hook in. Not been a problem in Cat 1s because
launch marshals are checking. Looking at developing a direct connection standard.
9. Bid from Mexico: This has been reviewed and has been recommended for approval by the HG SC.
