AI-generated feedback summary

Responses: 49
Satisfaction: 4.18/5
Safety: 4.27/5

Overall ratings were positive, with satisfaction averaging 4.17/5 and task safety averaging 4.25/5 across 48 responses.
Task quality: many pilots felt the task was good or well matched to the tricky weather, with comments such as “good task for the weather” and “task planned perfectly for the conditions.” A few pilots felt it became more like “two tasks” or a single-decision task, with less flying together than desired.
Weather/conditions: several pilots noted the day was difficult, with nice thermals higher up but poor lift lower down. A few said they had too little time to gain altitude before the start, which affected how comfortable and fair the start felt.
Safety: several pilots viewed the stop as the right safety call, especially given compact thermalling near the ridge in weak lower-level conditions. A few pilots felt the task was stopped too late, while several others said the stop timing was perfect or on point.
Organization: many comments were appreciative of the organizers’ work, including praise for making the best of tricky weather and for the overall organization across the four days. Some feedback suggested pilots in the air may perceive changing conditions before organizers can, so earlier or more responsive stop decisions could help in marginal situations.
Pilot behavior: an isolated comment mentioned unclear turn direction in the first thermal after SSS, suggesting that reminders or clearer expectations around gaggle direction could improve comfort and safety.
Suggestions for improvement: several pilots suggested Bassano/Borso del Grappa would have been a better and safer site for the forecast, with comments that they could have flown longer there, as on the previous day. A few also suggested allowing more takeoff/start preparation time when conditions are weak or slow to build.
