BAeA Rules 2013
This comprehensive set of
rules covers every aspect of the operation of our aerobatic
competitions. All pilots and contest officials who intend to compete in
or work at a BAeA event should download and read these rules, and be
familiar with all aspects that may affect them prior to and during the
event itself.
BAeA
Operations Manual v1 A complete "How To" manual
describing the way that we expect all contest jobs to be managed, together
with the Association's procedural and policy guidelines relating to both
the contest arena and BAeA general management. This document is essential
reading if you are engaged in any aspect of running BAeA events or
involved in general management on behalf of the Association.

and events.
BAeA
Aerobatic Judging Seminar Tutorial Here
is a complete copy as a PDF document of all the important pages in this web that
comprise the BAeA Aerobatic Judging Seminar Notes for 2013. This represents the distilled
'How to Judge and what to look for' view of the Association's
judging guru's, and will prepare you well either for your initiation on
the judging line or as a refresher course in what you're supposed to be
doing there this year. The file
is in PDF format. Download, print, go to White Waltham on Saturday 16th March
2013.
BAeA mini Contest Information Booklet From 2012 onwards we will
concentrate principally on maintaining the BAeA website contest
pages thoroughly up to date, and these should be your primary point
of reference for all events. There will also be a 'mini
Contest Information Booklet' with details extracted directly from
this web that will summarise the key details of
our events for the benefit of people whose internet access is
limited.

PDF's
VIEWING ....
All of these publications are provided here in PDF format, and to
view them you will require a PDF reader in your PC. You can download and
install either
of the free Foxit or Adobe readers via the links on the right here
- they 'unscramble' PDF
files so that you can read them in your browser or in your computer
once you have downloaded them. All you need do
is double-click the PDF file (either the icon on your desktop, if that's where
you've put it, or by hunting for it with Windows Explorer) and Foxit or Acrobat will
do the rest.
PRINTING .... This
basic chore is not quite as simple as it appears.... both the Contest
Booklet and the Rules are portrait documents that naturally print at A4,
whereas you'll probably want the output as pairs of A5 pages on A4
landscape. Regrettably few
printers can manage this simple task.... One
very capable independent solution is "FinePrint", a sort of universal printer
driver that acts like an intermediary between your computer and your
printer output channels. Print to FinePrint (instead of your printer)
and up pops up a preview window from which you decide how and where to print it (or of course
to not print it at all - if something's not right you can abort the output and try again....), and provides
various format
translations to output from 2-up to 8-up on A4, with the duplex (both sides!) booklet printing that you want here. There are lots of 'delete
this page', 're-order', 'copy to clip-board', 'save as ASCII' options you'll
be hard put to find anywhere else, the thing typically saves 50% of your paper usage, and is one of those
utilities that once
you've got it you'll wonder how you managed before..... The 'free' download version
has some minor limitations, registering and forking out the moderate fee
clears them. As you can see, I'm a true convert.....!
