Accuracy Awards Scheme
There are six award levels based on scores achieved over four consecutive flights which must be recorded in front of qualified (BHPA or international) judges. The six award levels are as follows:
Copper – Landing within 10.0m of the centre of a target on 4 consecutive flights
Bronze – Landing within 2.5m of the centre of a target on 4 consecutive flights
Silver – Landing within 1.0m of the centre of a target on 4 consecutive flights
Gold – 4 consecutive flights with a combined total score of 100cm or less
Diamond – 4 consecutive pad scores
Platinum – 4 consecutive flights with a combined total score of 10cm or less
There are separate schemes for Classic Accuracy and Paragliding accuracy due to the different landing rules. It is a pilots responsibility to claim an award and the claim must be made within one month of the competition taking place.
