After crossing the Finish Line, enter Left Traffic to land on the runway in use. If you need to cool down first, extend to the east and then re-enter.

After all racers are recovered there will be lunch and awards, and a candy drop for the Downs Syndrome Indiana families. We hope you will choose to participate in dropping candy after the race.


Here are some helpful tips for creating User Waypoints in ForeFlight - 

The screen shots below are from the Standard Course, but the instructions are the same.

I start by entering airport IDs in the Search Bar, then once my general race route is created I select the Aerial Map to get a good look at the turn point, then drag the magenta line there and save the Lat/Lon with a Name and Description. This is called "rubberbanding" and pulls the magenta line to the exact spots for each turn point, saving the Lat/Lon in place of the airport ID.

After I've created all my User Waypoints, saved and named them, I create a Route in the NavLog in Edit Mode.

Then, I "Favorite" (save) the Route by tapping the single star that is to the right of the suitcase (Pack) icon. I named this one INDYAIRRACE2016. This makes it available in my Favorites so I can get to it any time by tapping the **double stars** at the very top, about the middle.
