Starting with the 2013 flying season, the Junior trophy will be awarded to the pilot who flies and documents via the online contest the most cumulative km during the season in one of the club's SZD 51-1 Juniors.
Accumulating distance in the Junior is easier than you think! We have some suggestions (in the badges and trophies section) with sample tasks that can be flown in the Junior and range from about
20 km - 50 km in length, many of which can be accomplished within the 1 hr flight limit.
For example the task from SOSA to Reid's Field and back is 27 km, and to Cambridge and back is 19 km.
The suggested tasks shown below can be flown as local flights (depending on weather conditions), thereby requiring no cross-country check-out to accumulate distance (allowing you to stay within gliding range of SOSA while accomplishing a task).
For pilots who are already checked for cross-country, you may fly any task of your preference and upload it to the OLC to accumulate distance. Only flights posted to the OLC will be used to determine cumulative distance at the end of the year.
