The XC League is actively policed for the fairness of all competitors. In general, the flight evidence is examined and the flight is checked for airspace compliance. Flights that are submitted without the appropriate proof, or those which infringe airspace will be deleted from the XC League.
Although an airspace infringement may result in prosecution, the CAA views this as an option of last resort, preferring a policy of education where the pilot is debriefed and made aware of any errors they may have made.
If your flight infringes airspace it will be deleted from the XC League and we will send you an email asking you to acknowledge that you fully understand the airspace in this area. You may include any mitigating circumstances or other observations and the information will be treated confidentially. Its main purpose is to record that you have been debriefed, but it may help to highlight any shortcomings in airspace information, or pilots' understanding of it.
Cheating and poor airmanship may lead to disqualification with publicity. Pilots wishing to protest another pilot for poor airmanship or cheating should do so within one month of the flight concerned.
The XC League provides support to Clubs to help them protect particulary sensitive XC sites. Any flights from the following sites will only be allowed in the XC League if the pilot has complied with all the Club or Local Rules pertaining to the site in question.
In exceptional circumstances where a Club is at immediate risk of losing a site mid way though a season, a new site may be added to this list. Any illegal flights made after the updated list is published on the web site could be removed from the XC League.
