Air New Zealand XC Trophies

This is a decentralised competition aimed at encouraging cross-country flying from club sites, particularly by pilots new to cross-country flying.  It is a distance event extending over the season and is run in two divisions; one for flights originating in the North Island and one for flights originating in the South Island.  OLC handicaps and scoring are used.  Any NZ resident glider pilot with a GNZ XCP certificate may enter provided that, on the first day of the contest, no more than 10 years have elapsed since their XCP (or QGP) was awarded and they have not flown a ratified (or subsequently ratified) Gold distance flight.
