SAPFA Air Navigation Race and SA Landing Championships

September 2, 2017

Air Navigation Race (ANR) requires two crew, Pilot + Navigator. It is a new form of competition with much shorter flight times and competitors must navigate down narrow twisting corridors. The sport is similar to Rally Flying where only the start and finish are timed, but the routing requires the aircraft have to fly along predetermined corridors with irregular shapes at a specific speed (normally 80 knots). The corridors are generated by sophisticated mapping software to ensure they are of equal length.
Crews are handed their map with the printed corridor and are given thirty minutes to plan their flight. Loggers are used to log the flight track in order to determine the final score. The crew with the least amount of penalties is the winning crew. Crews are penalised for flying outside their corridors and for timing errors.
For more information on ANR please visit this website: www.fai.org/gac-our-sport/air-navigation-race
