This page is about preparing to participate at the 20m Double Seater Nationals in Montague, California in June 2020.
Topics that I plan to cover in preparation before the event include:
- Local weather forecasts
- Insights based on flight traces from prior contests
- Montague Way Points
- Custom Montague Task Area Map
- Klamath Falls South GlidePlan Map (based on glide ratio of 1:35 and 1,500ft arrival altitude)
- Local Knowledge Report from Craggy Aero
- Contest Report from Dave Nadler 2009
- Contest Report from Dave Nadler 2012
- Contest Report from Dave Nadler 2014
- Contest Reports from Gary Kemp, pages 8-12
- Contest tasks from Montague in Condor2 (for practice flying on simulator)
- Basic orientation to the area via some videos from Siskiyou Co: video of a glider taking off from Montague airport (not a great video but gives some sense of the area); short clip of a glider circling near Mt Shasta; glider passing Mt. Shasta; glider landing at Montague airport;
