The following Mid Atlantic Open schedule does not affect any HPR flying by contest competitors.

This year we will have to schedule 3 of the events in sequence to prevent practice flights. Spot Landing ends when the random duration is determined. Random duration ends when the random altitude is chosen.

1. Open Spot Landing - ends in the morning - tentatively 11:30 AM

2. Random Duration - starts in the morning at around 11:30 and runs until around 1 PM

3. Random Altitude (altimeter) - starts around 1 PM and must be flown before the glider duration events

4. A Boost Glider Duration
A Flexwing Duration
Both can fly any time after a contestant's Random flights are done.
