Rally Update
Hello Everyone,
I have a couple of updates for you.
First the March Fuel prices:
Same as February, AVGAS ₤1.12
AVGAS AOPA PRICE ₤1.07
JET A1 ₤0.70
Second great news for the teams that consist of odd numbers:
If you require single occupancy of a room and only plan to stay Friday and Saturday night you can still get a great discount compared to the normal single rate.
We have just 7 rooms left for those who wish to have the privacy of single room occupancy at the special offer of ₤50 off the normal price, the ₤10 difference expired at the end of February.
This means you will pay only ₤293 instead of ₤343 for a single room.
(This does not apply if you wish to enjoy the free Sunday Night offer)
If a single entrant, register now, you will not regret it.
Happy landings

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are haven a nice weekend.
I have a couple of updates for the Rally:
We can confirm Lessay as our start airfield for the competitions.
There will be customs and immigration available on this field for the day.
This year you will collect your navigation exercise clues from Lessay.
Start studying your plates;
SIA - La référence en information aéronautique
https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv...set_aip_uk.htm
https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv..._AD-2.LFOM.pdf
(While you are online, you might as well get the Cherbourg plates from the same site, for a viable alternate and for the Sunday when we go for lunch.)
We are happy to announce that Cirrus will be displaying an SR22 outside the club house. More info on their web site.
Sniff it, kiss it and paw it, you know you want to
As more updates come, I will let you know.
Don’t forget out limited offer for those who wish to stay Friday & Saturday and require a single room, we can offer ₤50 discount, limited to availability, so book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. (Offer cannot be used in conjunction with the Sunday Night Free offer)

Quick Update
Hello Everyone,
A quick update.
I have been asked to inform all the people who cannot make up their minds and do not want to commit yet ( I know a lot of ladies reading will be nodding their heads knowingly) that we will accept entries to the rally up to 1 week before the rally itself.
Unfortunately, if you leave it this late, we cannot guarantee the hotel even though we will help you and try to get the accommodation you require.
So, to avoid disappointment, sign up sooner rather than later.
Bye for now.

Competition Info
Hello Everyone,
I hope this latest lot of bad weather hasn’t caused you too much trouble.
Where I am, it has rained heavily in the afternoon for the last 7 days, but it is a pleasant change from the usual sweltering 35˚C+
I have been told I can inform you about the competitions:
There are, hang on while I count on my fingers & toes, 14 trophies to be won, the first six are the main competitions that make up the seventh, the Grand Prix.
1, The overhead arrival at Lessay.
You will be assigned a time to arrive overhead, closest to your requested arrival time.
You will have points deducted for every second you are out from the scheduled arrival time.
2, The timed circuit.
As you arrive you will immediately start to fly a 5 minute timed circuit, stopping the watch when your wheels touch the ground on a touch and go.
Points will be deducted as competition 1
3, Spot landing competition.
On the climb out from the timed circuit, you will enter a shorter circuit to culminate in the spot landing; then taxi to the parking area.
You will have 1 hour on the ground at Lessay, during this time you will receive clues and prepare your navigation for the treasure hunt.
(A word of advice, bring a NW France chart, a ruler, a protractor and maybe a whiz wheel)
4, The Aerial Treasure Hunt.
You will depart from Lessay one hour after landing and the clues given for the Treasure Hunt. After the last waypoint you will fly onwards towards La Roque in Jersey.
(Your departure time will be recorded)
5, Timed arrival at La Roque.
We will calculate the time for you to fly the course and onwards to Jersey, based on the TAS that you supply to us.
Points will be deducted as competition 1
6, The Safety & Airmanship competition.
Upon arrival at the club you will be judged for safety practise and handed a written competition testing your knowledge.
(I can tell you to make sure you have information about all the airfields the rally visits this year)
7, The Grand Prix is awarded to the highest cumulative score of the first 6 competitions.
8, Concourse d’elegance.
If you think your aircraft will be the prettiest in the rally, enter it when you arrive and our judges will make a fair assessment of your pride and joy.
9, Longest distance flown to get to the rally.
If you want to enter this competition, tell us upon your arrival and we will judge your distance from your submitted Plogs and Flight Plans. Valid legs start at 05.00UTC on Thursday.
One year we had a winner that came from the South of England, but went to the far North of Scotland before turning around & coming back!
10, Surprise competition.
This is a fun competition on the Saturday, It can be anything from fishing for plastic fish, to a car treasure hunt around the island. Even I don’t know yet.
11, Inter Club competition.
This is a prize awarded to the highest scoring, in competitions 1 – 6, team entered.
A team is 3 aircraft or more.
12, Best First Time Entrant.
All people who attend the rally for the first time are entered into this sub competition; the winner will be the highest scoring, in competitions 1 – 6, ‘first timer’.
13, Best Competitor in a twin engined aircraft.
The competitors that do the best, in competitions 1 – 6, whilst flying a twin engined aircraft will win this prize.
14, Best low hour crew.
The crew that scores the highest points in competitions 1 – 6 but has a cumulative total hours figure of under 250 hours for all licence holders will win this trophy.
A competition for the newer and less frequent pilots amongst us.
I will post more information as I get it.

Essential Documents
Hello Everyone,
A quick reminder for some of you.
I now have an Indonesian wife, and it crossed my mind the problems I have with visas.
If any of you are going to have a crew member from outside the EU, check to see if they need a Schengen visa for the landing in Lessay; these can take over 6 weeks to arrange. It took over 2 months for me to get a 4 day visa, single entry, for Belgium, same price as 6 months unlimited entry.
Jersey takes UK visas, without problem.
Just a thought, but it is better to be prepared.
Brits think we are Europeans, when we pop over, but we did not sign up for the Schengen agreement and if we have other nationalities in tow from outside the EU, we need to go through the best bureaucracy Brussels can throw at us.
Don’t forget your passports!
Also don’t forget the 28th April cut off date for guaranteed Pomme d’Or Hotel rooms.
Book now
Bye for now

Rally Update
Hello Everyone,
I have a quick update for you.
There are only 18 days left until the rally, I hope you are all ready for the competitions.
Make sure your batteries are new in your digital stopwatches, make sure you have pens with ink in them, make sure your pencils are sharp, make sure you have your 2010 French NW France map, make sure you have a protractor, make sure you have a ruler and make sure you have a whizz wheel (in other words, go back to your student days and pull out the PPL starter pack you received when you first started your PPL course).
There is still time to enter, we will accept your entry up to 26th May, however if you leave it this late, we cannot guarantee the hotel accommodation will be in the Pomme d’Or.
Don’t forget we have the 2 packages, the full one with the accommodation and the basic, covering the rally competitions and key meals (with the basic package, you must arrange your own accommodation).
Please read all the previous postings for further information and visit the club’s website: Jersey Aero Club - Home
We have an NPPL entrant; we would love to welcome many more.
If you enter as an NPPL, we will be able to allocate you an arrival time at La Roque (SE Corner of Jersey) and you will also be able to enter the Safety & Airmanship competition.
Unfortunately the 3 competitions in Lessay (France) and the aerial treasure hunt, will not be possible.
The programme is posted on the Aero Club’s website for those who want to possibly come, but still not signed up.

Don’t forget some Euros and more importantly, don’t forget your passports!
If you need more information, read my previous posts, most information is there; otherwise ask me either on this forum or PM.

Hello 140KIAS
I believe so, but have asked for confirmation (I am not in Europe at the moment).
I do not expect to be able to confirm until Wednesday

Hello 140KIAS
I asked James, CFI at the Jersey Aero Club, about your question.
He has confirmed an ELT/PLB is mandatory when flying in France
See you in 18 days

Last Rally Update
I have the last update for you.
There are only 5 days left until the rally!
I hope you are all ready for the competitions.
We are ready, the only thing that can challenge us is the weather and we have already planned for that.
Don’t forget anything, especially your passports and if in an N Reg aircraft, your relevant documents for the French.
There is still time to enter, we will accept your entry up to 26th May (that is only 3 days left), however if you have left it this late, we cannot guarantee the hotel accommodation will be in the Pomme d’Or.
