STOL Competition
The competition is simple, though more detail to come. The winner in each category is defined as the combination (adding together) of landing and take-off distance (a cycle). The landing is the distance measured from the main wheels of the aircraft at a complete stop from the arrival line. If the aircraft touches before the arrival line, then that ‘cycle’ is voided. The take-off distance is measure from the aircraft fully stopped to the point at which the main wheels leave the ground the last time.
