London-Melbourne 2014: 119 Piccadilly

A question for Miss Nellie, please.

On leg 6, about 55 minutes in, my PC locked up completely, so I had no option but to hit reset and abort the leg. Does that count as a "bail out", or something else? I'll need to return to WMKA to fly the leg again. What penalty applies?

Thanks!

Er, excuse me . . . sorry to trouble you, but on my last flight I - er - lost my log. (Gulp)

My machine was acting up towards the end of the flight, so I was a little distracted. I'm sure I put it somewhere, but when the time came to post it I couldn't find it.

Please convey my sincere apologies to Miss Nellie, and my assurance that it won't happen again.

As Martin has pointed out, the data is online. I've retrieved it and updated your race log.

Martin- Please see your race thread. A no penalty refly for the PC lockup.
 
Me again .... :dread: ... with a question.

When I checked my progress in the Standings Screen, I notice that I musta mistyped ... in the "Go to Airport" ... OR0S instead of OR0G.

I had been checking/scouting down range (of what would be the next leg) before taking off.

Was ready to go back to Baghdad and take off straight away ... planning complete ... obviously paid no attention to the fact that wasn't at Rasheed ... Baghdad, but not Rasheed.



Reckon I need to know whether or not I need refly that one?

The flight would have been a couple of NM's shorter from Rasheed and I actually fueled at Rasheed.

Dumb mistake ... fumble fingers ... no excuse.

I'll await a verdict and prepare to take what gets handed down.
 
I fixed it. That's happening a lot at that airport. Not sure what the deal is, but it's "no factor".
 
A quick question to the race committee

I noticed the yesterday that the handicap allowance for my flight has changed to 1:24:00 from what page 37 of the rules shows should be 7.4 hours. Is this a clerical error? Curious as it greatly affects my placement in the final standings.

Our main statistician has been out of the country on business with limited net access. That coupled with a few of the planes having the incorrect handicaps to begin with have presented a little bit of a problem. We hope to have the final standings out soon. Thanks for your patience.
