PWC Mexico pilot briefing - 1st February 2014

Enzo2 wings will not be allowed to compete following the controversy surrounding the certification process at the Superfinal.

Also the Niviuk Icepeak 7-24 has also been temporarily withdrawn from the competition until the certification on load testing can be received from the testing house.

It has been made clear that these decisions are based on pilot security following the fatal accident of a fellow pilot two days ago, and although his accident was outside the competition organisation, the decision of the PWC organisation is also to do with technical administrative legalities in the event of a similar accident during the competition.

There are many frustrated pilots here at present, but the decision of the PWC is final with no room for discussion.  Only the receipt of the load testing certificate regarding the IP7-24 could mean that these gliders are allowed to compete, but this will not happen until at least Monday morning European time.  The decision on the Enzo2's is irrevocable for this PWC Mexico, Valle de Bravo.
