In order to have access to the airfield, each National Team Manager, Pilot, Mechanic or Supporter/Family Member will have to go through check-in at the IMAC Reception Desk, receiving information and the Access Badge. Without this Badge it will not be possible to access the internal operations area of the airport, but only the spaces dedicated to general public. For late arrivals, check-in will still be possible during the whole of morning of the 22nd. The IMAC Reception Desk will be closed at 12 am of Tuesday 22nd. During the whole morning of Tuesday 22nd, the practice flight line will continue to be open until 1pm. At 2 pm of Tuesday 22nd we will hold the National Team Managers and Pilots Briefing. At this meeting we will share all the logistics details of the event and we will entertain a plenary Q&A session. At 4 pm of Tuesday 22nd, all registered National Team Members and their families, together with all IMAC Judges and Competition Personnel are invited to participate to the Europeans Formal Opening Ceremony, which will take place in city of Leszno, involving local authorities. In the evening of Tuesday 22nd, all invited Judges will rejoin for a Briefing-Dinner. The Judging Team, composed of 22 Judges, will be recruited among experienced pilot-judges and professional judges from several Countries. Adi Kochav, Judges Director, will be responsible for their recruitment and training. This process will take place during several months prior to the event. IMAC Pilots competing at this event will not judge. During the same evening, all National Team Members and their families will rejoin for dinner in a particular location, to get to know each other and to share the spirit of this large IMAC event. On Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th, three precision flights will take place on each of the three dedicated runways. Friday 25th is planned to be a movable, Reserve Day. This reserve of time will enable the organizers to recuperate parts of the competition that might be suspended due to bad weather or any other unpredictable cause. If this time reserve will not be needed, Friday 25th will be dedicated to rest, practice flying or sightseen with the families. Special touristic opportunities will be made available to the whole IMAC family. The morning of Saturday 26th will be dedicated to one Unknown precision flight, which will be followed by the Free Style Qualifications in the afternoon. These qualifications will take a significant amount of time, since we expect many pilots to fly Free Style. A dedicated runway will be made available to this Class. Local public may enjoy the show. On Sunday 27th, starting early morning, we will fly the last Unknow precision flight, after which we will celebrate a “Leszno Airshow” that will be populated by an exciting mix of full-scale and airmodelling performances. The Free Style Finals, involving the 15 qualified pilots, will take place in front of the general public as part of the airshow. In the evening of Sunday 27th a large Dinner-Ceremony-Party will involve the whole IMAC Family. At this relaxed Party we will distribute ruffle prices and go through the formal Ceremony to celebrate all winners of the different Final Rankings, which are described later in this document. Competition flights will never stop during the day. From Tuesday 22nd to Sunday 27th, breakfast and lunch will be made available at the briefing tent to all members of the IMAC family not on duty. Turns will be organized to ensure personal breaks from activity. The Unknown flights schedules, to be performed the next day, will be made available to pilots each evening, at the reception desk, after all runways will be closed. In Bulletin 2 we will detail all hospitality opportunities and logistics aspects, highlighting how each participant will be able to access them, while in Bulletin 3 we will make the detailed agenda of all the meetings and ceremonies taking place within the event.

EUROPEANS - Pilots registered to participate into the IMAC Europe Championship. IMAC EUROPE organizes aerobatics training activities and semi-scale model aerobatic competitions PARTICIPATION RULES Invited Pilots Due to the availability of only three precision runways, participation will be limited to a maximum of 120 pilots. The IMAC European Championship is dedicated to all IMAC pilots operating within the 25 Countries assigned to the IMAC Europe Region; highlighted below. However, participation is open also to all pilots from any other IMAC World Region, provided the availability of registration slots. The organization pursues the goal of reaching the full potential level of participation to this memorable event, which takes place every four years. Our IMAC competitions are just one of the activities belonging to our International semi-scale aerobatics school. Therefore, we believe it is of paramount importance to provide the opportunity, to the greatest number of IMAC pilots, to live through this motivating flying and social experience. Therefore, in line with our aerobatics school values, pilots will be able to register into the competition assuming one the following four status levels: 1. National Senior Team Member; 2. National Junior Team Member; 3. Additional National Team Member; 4. Guest Pilot from other IMAC World Regions. All Pilots flying a precision class will be eligible to register in order to participate to the Free Style competition. However, due to time constraints, only up to 40 pilots will be registered in the Free Style Qualification flight. For the same reason, only 15 pilots will be eligible to participate to the Free Style Final flight. The four status registration options can be described as follows: Official National Senior Team Member We invite each Country, operating within the IMAC Europe Region, to send a National Team that can be composed of up to 3 Senior Pilots per precision class: Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced, Unlimited. For a total of 12 Senior Pilots. Official National Junior Team Member Each Country will be able to send a Junior Team, composed of up to 2 pilots per precision class, for a total of 8 Junior Pilots. A pilot of less then 18 years of age is considered to be a Junior Pilot. Additional National Team Member In addition, each Country will be able to propose a list of National Pilots who would like to participate to this event, without being part of the selected Official Senior or Junior National Teams. In case the total number of pilots belonging to the Senior and Junior Teams will be less then 120, then additional pilots from this list will be accepted, applying the Slot Allocation Process described later. Guest Pilots from Other IMAC World Regions This cluster is made of Pilots belonging to any other IMAC World Region willing to participate to this event. If, after accepting registrations from all the first three status cohorts, the total number of pilots will still be less then 120, then the Slot Allocation Process will be open to accept Pilots from this last cluster. Slot Allocation Process Allocation of Precision Slots – Up to 120 Pilots By February 2023 each IMAC Europe Country Director will have to submit the Country Participation Form described at the end of this document, highlighting the names of each pilot belonging to the first three status clusters: 1. National Senior Team Members; 2. National Junior Team Members; 3. Additional National Pilots willing to participate. Based on this information, the organizer will fill all the available slots per flight class, also determining which flight classes will share the same runway. In case of overbooking, produced in some classes by the number of Senior and Junior official pilots, the organizer will propose a fair solution to the IMAC Country Managers’ community in order to remain within the fixed boundaries, while ensuring equal National participation levels. Otherwise, in case slots will continue to be available in some or all classes, Pilots belonging to the Additional National Team cluster will be accepted, ensuring an equal opportunity number per Country. As final step, if slots will continue to be available, registrations will be open to the Guest Pilots cluster, inviting pilots from any other IMAC Region of the World, who will be able to register on a personal basis. Allocation of Free Style Slots – Up to 40 In case the number Free Style pilots submitted through the Country Registration Forms will exceed the number of 40, the organizer will apply the criteria of equal Country participation level, proposing to the IMAC Country Managers community a solution that will ensure equal National participation to the Free Style competition. The Slot Allocation Process will take place during the month of March 2023.
