Sunday April 8 to Friday April 13, 2012

Come to beautiful South Florida were it is always flyable this time of year. Kick Off your flying season here at the Florida Ridge Team Challenge which offers conditions that make flying second to none: 8,000 to 10,000 foot cloud bases, soaring over mirrored lakes and patchwork fields, inviting beaches and unlimited LZs.

Joins us in this Team Competition in which each team will be led by an experienced "A" rated pilot, this team leader will help to coach and mentor their less experienced team members ("B" and "C" pilots) in the discipline of cross country flying.


Fly with the top pilots in the world. Let them take you under their wings, sharing with you their secrets of flight.

Team Leaders:

  • Johnny Durand
  • Dean Funk
  • Mike Barber
  • Davis Straub
  • Dennis Pagen
  • Zac Majors
  • Dustin Martin
  • Jeff Shapiro
  • Derreck Turner
  • Steve Larson
  • Dave Whittle
  • ..and Others

Scoring will be done with a multiplier formula which takes into consideration the pilot's skill level and the glider type being flown. Jeff Nibler's unique scoring system will normalize the scores to a standard score of 100 when a pilot makes his goal. The tasks will be handicapped based on pilot skill level by giving relatively easy tasks to the "C" pilots and quite difficult tasks to the "A" pilots.
