ANNUAL TRI CLUB COMPETITION 2023
Tri-Club Competition Event Details
SATURDAY16TH SEPTEMBER 2023
Welcome to : MRAC, RNAC, KFC and HDFC.
HDFC would like to thank Manning River Aeroclub for generously helping out with the venue for our 2023 Tri Club Competition to be held on 16th September 2023. We can’t hold the Tri Club at YPMQ because of the security situation and the sheer volume of circuit traffic.
Also, because of the Covid situation we’ve had to miss the Tri Club for the past few years. We certainly don’t want to stop this wonderful tradition. Hopefully we can get a great roll up of pilots at beautiful Taree on the 16th September where we can maintain our flying currency, build confidence and enjoy the camaraderie of our fellow pilots from the region.

YTRE Airport Information
River Bash
Course starts at the HWY Bridge. Position the aircraft over the river at 700’. The River Bash turns can be quite steep, so it’s imperative that the ball is in the middle at all times.
As shown, Turn 1 is to the Right, Turn 2 to the Left, Turn 3 to the Right and Turn 4 to the Left. End of exercise. Climb to the N.E., levelling off at 2500’.
b. At 2500’ the Steep Turn Exercise commences. One 45 degree to the Left then one 45 degree turn to the Right.
Back to the airstrip, descend to 2000’.
c. Forced Landing Exercise commences. Aiming to land in the scoring boxes on the main runway. There will be no simulated ‘fence’. Land then taxi back to the changeover area near the Aeroclub.
Have Fun! Enjoy a very SAFE but challenging day of flying!
