Fly-In Aircraft Contest

Aircraft Judging

Download the Aircraft Judging Registration Form HERE!

Aircraft will be judged as presented.  Normal accumulation of bugs, oil, etc. associated with incoming flight(s) will not lower scoring.  However, if it appears that the plane has a substantial accumulation of debris, dirt, bird droppings, etc. indicating little flight activity or lack of maintenance, scoring will be discounted.

To be judged, pilots must register their aircraft to be considered.  At registration, you will be given a prop card to put on your propeller.  On the prop card will be a yellow sticker.  A minimum of three judges will evaluate each aircraft and initial the sticker.  Judging criteria will be based upon the EAA Judging Standards manual.  All decisions of the judges are final.

All aircraft owners are encouraged to put their aircraft on display and be judged. There is a $10 fee to help cover the cost of trophies.  You will be given a prop card to designate your aircraft as eligible for judging.  

Aircraft judging begins at 8:30 A.M.  Judging stops at 1 PM.  Do not wait until the last minute to get your aircraft registered.  Awards will be given at 2 PM.  If the pilot is not on the field, the award will be mailed.
