1) The competition is in March, the most turbulent time of the year. Expect the
most severe turbulence near launch to the right over or next to El Penon. If you
are not comfortable flying in tight gaggles with you and your compatriots only
partially in control, you should think twice about coming.

2) Really restricted landing zones. Small fields, lots of trees, power lines and
fences. Fields on the lee side. Difficulty knowing the wind direction. Routes
sometimes over areas without landing zones (better get high first and roll the
dice.) Drogue chutes to decrease the length of the final glide are a very good
idea. Many areas with very few fields.

3) High altitude and high temperature landings. There are a lot fewer air
molecules around to slow you down.

Unless you have lots of practice flying in conditions discussed above, you might
want to go to other competitions. Twenty eight percent of the pilots attending
the 2014 pre-Worlds did not fly on the last day for various reasons (many had
abandoned the competition). This is by far the highest percentage that I have
seen in any competition.

Some people love it, some hate it. Decide in advance which group you belong to.
