Milestones Guidelines

Please send all Milestones to

[email protected].

Milestone entries are welcomed

for soaring pilots who have soloed,

received their private pilot rating,

added-on the glider rating to a cur-

rent power rating, and any additional

ratings added to a current glider cer-

tificate. Due to the increasing num-

ber of Milestone submissions being

generated by the membership, the

Soaring staff asks that the following

guidelines be followed:

Text: Individual entries are lim-

ited to a minimum of 50 words and

a maximum of 100 words per pilot.

Entries with multiple persons be-

ing mentioned are allowed the same

minimum and maximum per person

mentioned. Identify everyone shown

in photos. Insure that you the text in-

cludes; Who, What, When, and  Where.

Text must be written in the body

of the email, no attached text files.

Please include a headline.

Photos: Must be digital, high-

resolution .JPG image files, submit-

ted in the same email as the text file

(as a separate .JPG file, not embedded

in a page of text). The smallest image

file size that we are generally able to

reproduce in print is about 150 kb,

at 300 dpi. Entries with image files

smaller than 100 dpi will be returned

for correction and re-submission.

Generally, the photo files directly

from the camera works best. Do not

send links to online services such as

Shutterfly, send the image file.

Date Format: September 10, 2018

• not 9/10/18, not Sept. 9, 2018.
  Changes or Re-Submissions: Re-
  submission or changes to an entry for
  any reason require a new text file and
  a new photo file to be submitted via
  email.
  The Soaring staff makes every ef-
  fort to run all Milestones entries in as
  timely a manner as possible. The very
  soonest to expect a Milestones entry
  to appear is 90 days after submission.
  Much longer delays can be expected
  after the end of the soaring season.
