Retransportation
Retransportation will be possible only on bituminious roads. All the pilots have to go to these roads and to give precise coordinates using a phone service or radio-receivers. Pilots are not allowed to change their position after they give their coordinates and for that 50 points will be taken off. Each position change must be told in advance. If one uses some other means of transportation, one should inform organisers about it, as well. If one does not infom organisers that he/she has landed,within the time period set at briefing, poents will be also taken off according to the local rules. All the costs of sercher service in the case of unjustified failure to report, will be paid by pilots.
IMPORTANT: All pilots will have live trackers for better retransportation.
