Competition and events

A forecast page for task weeks, open days, and club events.

Give pilots one event-specific page with the expected flying window, day ratings, route samples, and task-area weather. Use it as a briefing link for competitors, visitors, organisers, and volunteers.

Multi-day event outlook

Practice day, task day, reserve day, and trend notes.

Route or task samples

Use corridor sampling to check lift and cloudbase along the planned route.

Clear safety framing

Support briefings without pretending to be official aviation weather.

Sponsor-friendly page

A public page can link back from event websites and club posts.

The public page should support briefings, not replace task committee judgement, official aviation weather, NOTAM checks, or local safety calls.
