John Lawler gaar017 noticed an error in the official scores thru
Sector 8.
They have been corrected. I
was adding the times for sector 7 twice and ignoring the sector 8 time.
Feb 15, 2006 0300gmt
It is apparent that not every pilot can fly a sector and report the
time within a 48 hour "window"
As a result I will not be posting the results
as stated in the rules, but delaying the posting approximately 24 hours.
If you are one of the pilots who were de-activated, please continue
to submit flight reports, and as time permits I will try to get you back into
the roster.
This is supposed to be a fun event and I'm sorry if seem
over-stressed some times.

I'm extending the deadline for Sector 5 and Sector 6 until 6pm EST on Saturday
February 11th. Thats
2300 gmt time.
I don't understand why so many pilots can't get there reports in on time.
If they aren't here by the new deadline, you are out of the rally.
I have several pilots submitting two reports for sector 5, and with different
times. I could understand if the newest reports said "correction"
but thats not the case.
Perhaps you are reporting sectors 5 and 6 but marking them both as 5.
If so, resubmit your sector 6 time with 6 in the
sector field.
When you submit reports look at the confirmation screen.
If you dont see something like:
,: 001, 5, DC-3, 45, comment
Click "back" then "refresh" and try it again.

I received this pirpep. If its yours send it
again or email me your G.A.A.R. pilot ID
,: 5, DC3, 33,
Next time you get the pilot report form on screen, click
"Refresh"
Look over your reports on the Submitted page to make sure all
fields are correct.

Please make sure that you enter the sector # correctly. For sectors 1-9 it is a one digit number, For sectors 10-20 it is a two digit number.
Here are the legal entries for sector #.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
Some that I have intercepted before they got lost: 03, YPPF-YNHL
Without the correct sector# format, the report has a chance of
being overlooked. The correct sector #
format will cause Outlook to put it into a special folder for each sector.
Feb 6, 2006
The results are on the roster page.
Scroll to the right. I may change
that soon, to keep from having to send all the roster information over and
over. When I do, there will be a
“Results” Link on the main gaar 2006 page.
Feb 6, 2006
No one has been kicked out of the rally. If you are missing one or more sector times,
your listing has been moved to the bottom of the roster. When you submit the reports you will be
moved back up. You will appear in the
main part of the roster with the next update which happens every two days
shortly after each sector is posted.
Feb 6, 2006 I have been
getting some GAAR reports on the Bluegrass Airlines Flight Report Form. The format is completely different, and you
will need to resubmit. Click on the
“Submit Flight Report” link on the GAAR 2006 page, or click this link and
bookmark it: http://www.bluegrassairlines.com/gaar_2006/gaar_report.html

roster can be re-instated by:
1. Submit reports for Sector 1 and Sector 2 by 23:59 GMT on February 4th.
2. There is no 2

Version 3 of FTime is available for
download from a link at the bottom left of the gaar
2006 main page.
This version fixes problems of a flight beginning before midnight
and ending after midnight GMT. It also
overcomes FS9 errors which shift GMT time instead of local time.
Thanks to Tom Goodrick for burning the
midnight oil working on the fix.

Only 6 ˝ hours to the cut-off time and I only have 150 reports.

Flight report that I corrected
1, Twin Bonanza, 43, Very dry and brown.
Missing pilot # Where did you link to this form?
I figured out that this is pilot # 051
Only two Twin Bonanza’s entered,
and I have a report from 127
Elementary Mr Watson!
Several came through with bga pilot #'s.
Henceforth use your 3 digit gaar # i.e.
001 thru 183
Several reports came through with 2 digit pilots
#
We need 3 digits i.e. 001 thru 183 Add the leading zero's
Some reports came through with the pilots
name.
I messed up on the rules and corrected them this morning.
Do not enter your name.
If the form your entering data into asks
for your name, I'm confused.
The form is at:

A new download link has been added for FTime
by Tom Goodrick.
This is a timer gauge that records time from the moment you exceed 35
knots on the takeoff roll, until you drop below 35 knots on the landing roll.
The flight must begin and end on the same calendar day in GMT time.

21:40 gmt
Only 50 hours and 19 minutes left to enter the rally, or to modify
your entry with a corrected time or a new aircraft.
Jan 08, 2006
A few applications are arriving with a time other than as
requested.
All times are to be numerical only without any decimal or alpha
characters.
If your flight took 25 min and 45 seconds it should be submitted as
the number 26
I have corrected the applications, but when the rally starts and I
am getting 150
flight reports at a time it is important that these 3 fields be entered
correctly
GAAR# 001 (three digit Pilot ID) No alpha characters or spaces
Sector# 1 (just the #) No alpha characters or spaces
Flight Time 26 (just the number of minutes) No decimal or alpha
characters.
