I was offered to join the competition and even if I was a new pilot I was very welcomed by all the pilots who were way more experimented than me and made me feel like one of them and at the ready to give me advise on my technique, which I really really needed. <strong>Needless to say that I finished last.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Back in Canada and found a bunch of new friends in the <strong>Club de Vol Libre de Thetford Mines<\/strong> (CVLTM), which is now my local club where I am <em>le liaison<\/em> officer. As a new pilot, I got taken under the wing of \u201cthe old guys\u201d as I was the youngest pilot at 41 years old at the time. I attended a few club weekend gatherings where you got pilots from around the province who get together for a great weekend of flying and socializing. At one of them, the Festiciel of St Fulgence, <strong>I ended up in the trees 4 times<\/strong> due to really small landing surrounded by forest. I got really annoyed at myself, even if I had about 100h ground handling and could take off anywhere, I had problems spot landing which is really needed in my country. <strong>I decided that I was going to learn precision landing<\/strong>, and decided to join the PGAWC so that I would really push myself to learn\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7293\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7293\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7293\" src=\"http:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pgawc_jimmy_takeoff-Berane.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pgawc_jimmy_takeoff-Berane.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pgawc_jimmy_takeoff-Berane-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pgawc_jimmy_takeoff-Berane-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pgawc_jimmy_takeoff-Berane-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pgawc_jimmy_takeoff-Berane-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Takeoff in Berane, Montenegro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, in May 2016 I signed up for the PGAWC in <strong>Berane, Montenegro<\/strong> where over 100 pilots fight for the first place in accuracy landing. This is where I had my first landing on the 5 meter target with a score of 1meter 10 which gave me a score of 110. The aim is to have as low score as possible, with 1 point given per centimeter away from the Bullseye to a maximum of 500 if you land outside of the Target area. The other thing you need to keep in consideration is, if any part of your equipment touch the ground before your glider does so, i.e. the rear end of your harness, then you also get maximum point of 500. The organiser really aim for safe landing and accuracy in doing so, the aim is to attract more people to the sport, not to scare them away of the sport!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7305\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7305 size-medium\" title=\"Paragliding Accuracy World Cup by Jimmy Giroux\" src=\"http:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pwawc_jimmy_Vlora-Albania-300x154.jpg\" alt=\"Paragliding Accuracy World Cup by Jimmy Giroux\" width=\"300\" height=\"154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pwawc_jimmy_Vlora-Albania-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/pwawc_jimmy_Vlora-Albania.jpg 521w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canada at the PGAWC of Vlora, Albania, 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The following week I travelled to <strong>Vlora, Albania<\/strong> for the 2nd leg of the World Cup.
