Precision take-offs

We're off! Wind of 10kt but gusting a fair bit more. We're running the autogyros first, then the fixed wing - in the hope that the forecast comes good and the wind calms a little later for the flex wings.

Pilots have to decide where in the deck they start so that they can clear a tape 1m high at the end of the deck. So far most are opting for around 60-70m and, with the help of the wind directly down the deck, few have broken the tape.
