Short Course Screen Shots, Coordinates and instructions for ForeFlight


For slower airplanes we are offering a shorter course, about 75 nm.
Here are the coordinates:

Here's what it looks like in ForeFlight:



We will cover the converging point of the two courses in the brief. Both courses start the same but at the Timber House turn (Turn 2) the short course splits off in another direction. Then over Boone County Airport the paths converge.

From Start at KTYQ to Turn 1 5I4, your outbound mag heading is 008.
From Turn 1 5I4 to Turn 2 31IN, your outbound mag heading is 296.

Two screen shots for Turn 2. First, an aerial view of Turn 2 for the short course, Timber House. Turn over white carport structure about mid field:



Note in the next screen shot that the two courses part ways here. Short course racers make a harder left turn. Be careful not to follow someone flying the other course! Outbound mag heading: 149




Short course Turn 3, Hood Field. Turn mid-field. You will be aiming for the north end of Boone Co. Airport where you will converge with Long Course. Outbound mag heading: 078


Here's an aerial view of the flight path of the short course over Boone County, which is very close to the Long Course Turn 6: Pay attention! This is not a turn point for Short course racers, but it is a turn point for Standard course racers. Long course racers will be turning at the north end of the hangars. Stay far enough to the north to avoid collision. Here are two screen shots for you:






Need to know how put those turn points exactly where you want them in ForeFlight? You came to the right place!

Open ForeFlight. On the bottom ribbon tap More.
> Tap User Waypoints
> Tap + (its in the upper right corner)
> Enter a Name (such as LyonsDen), a Description (such as Turn5), and the Lat and Lon (see Coordinates page)
> Tap Save (upper right corner)
> Go to Maps
Pull down NavLog, (button at top of Maps page with three lines), tap Edit (lower part of the drop down)
> Tap inside the box and a keyboard pops up.
> Type the Name you chose for the waypoint, then space.
ForeFlight adds your waypoint at the end.

To move it where you want it just "grab" it with your finger (not a tap but a tap and hold), and slide it into the place where you want it. The waypoint is now added to your route.

Or, in the Maps view, change the map to Aerial. 

Locate the exact point where you want to create a User Waypoint and tap and hold just a second. 

"Add to Route" will appear. 
Tap Waypoints at the bottom of that box.
The top selection contains the coordinates of the place where you tapped.
Tap More, next to that top selection.
Tap Save.
Enter a Name (Lyons Den)
Enter a Description (Turn 5)
Tap Save.
With ForeFlight's Track Log feature you can track your flight, save and share your race.
