While the SC is understandable after multiple read-throughs, it's usually better to partner up with an experienced pilot or official observer from your home club to plan out your flight. * As a for instance, under the current SC, your start options include:

- *Release/engine off.
- *Start line.
- *Start point Observation Zone

Each of these carries with it some gotchas that need to be understood.

Same for Waypoints.
