Day 2 - December 2nd
Independence Day - A Public Holiday and Day of Celebration
No holiday for the skydivers - particulary Accuracy with the usual early start, wheels off at 8.00 am. Soon the skies were filled with canopies as the Formation Skydiving Teams jumped rounds 3 and 4, and the Canopy Piloting competitors completed the first round of Speed. Everything stopped at 4.00 p.m. for the aerobatic flying display as part of the anniversary celebrations - but before that, not to be outdone, the Canopy Piloting teams built a 16 way formation and flew the AEU flag into the arena. We will have pictures to put up later.
By the end of the day all the Formation Skydiving rounds had been judged (4 rounds completed in 4-way Open and 4-way Female), we were still waiting one 2-way sequential Canopy Formations to be redubbed for judging, by all the 1st round 4-way sequential had been judged. The results are avilable on live via the IPC Results portal:

December 1st - Day 1 of competition.
An early start this morning for the practice rounds of Accuracy, Formation Skydiving and Canopy Formations and towards the end of the morning Canopy Piloting - all the time with the wind threating to increase in strength. And it did. By mid afternoon though the competition started. By the end of the day we had almost completed one round of Accuracy, two rounds of Formation Skydiving and one round of Canopy Formations. However, technical problems (isn't it always) caused judging delays for both Formation Skydiving and Canopy Formations. The IT people will be working overnight and at 8.0 tomorrow morning judging will finalise the last round 1 teams to be judged and start on the second round. Accuracy will continue and Canopy Piloting will commence with a Speed Round mid-morning. The plan is to complete two further rounds of Formation Skydiving, two Canopy Piloting, two Accuracy and one Canopy Formations. The smiles tell the story - first competition jump of the day - against this unique backdrop. This beautiful sunset over the delegations tents heralds a good day tomorrow, the competition will continue as the town and country celebrates their 40th anniversary of independance. 3rd Dubai International Parachuting Championship & Gulf Cup 2011 - Daily Diary - 30th November 2011
