9. Arrival procedure:
Radio your competition number 10 kilometres out, on MHz. The centre of the finish circle (three kilometres radius) is 4 kilometres away from the airfield, between Szeged and Szatymaz. You are required to enter the finish cylinder above 380m QNH. The name of the checkpoint is „ingyensör” – meaning „free beer”.

10. Landing procedure – RWY 34

11. Landing procedure – RWY 16

12. Landings:
Normal landings (direct or over flight, joining the runway in use, landing pattern East of the runway) will be on the main runway (16-34). If there are several gliders landing at the same time, then please make a long landing, a really long-long one, to the very end of the runway, and wait for the others to land as well, before towing your glider back to its parking place. After landing, you are always required to pull your glider out of the runway. Pilots should help one another moving the gliders off the runway. In case the main runway is fully congested, the secondary runway (18-36) is then available.

13. Safety:
1. Make a long landing when there is a bunch of gliders arriving at the same time.
2. Clear the runway ASAP.
3. Help the pilots landing behind you.
4. Wait after the rush to bring your glider to her spot !!
