The winds were light, first from the south and then from the north, so most had a chance to experience the less familiar 02 direction. As Schofields is aiming to submit teams to the Australian Light Aircraft Championships (ALAC) in April, for familiarisation, the day's sequences followed ALAC procedures and ALAC scoring.

Competing on the day were Mike Allsop, Bill Dawes, David Griss, Ray Hand, John Hook, Andrew Jordan, Justin McCoy, Chris Osborne, Richard Ure and David Winter. Ray Hand was victorious on the day. Second was a tie with equal scores from Mike Allsop who won the blind circuit and Justin McCoy who won the glide approach with short field take-off. Third was David Winter.

Warnervale - 4 September 2011: A steady northerly breeze replaced the prevailing Warnervale southerly, making 02 the duty runway.
