Measuring between obstacles

When you are measuring the length between two obstacles, you must measure from the obstacle`s base on the landing side to the next obstacle`s base on the take off side

Here you can see from a another angle how to measure in a correct way. Personaly I dont measure from the liverpool (with a vertical) if the lenght is smaller than 1,30m and if it is not more than 0,60m in front off the obstacle. It doesnt affect the need of the distance so much.

If you have obstacles in a straight line you must also cross measure with a fiberglass measuring tape

Here is a example of what can happen if you don`t cross measure. The (heart) obstacle behind is not in line

In the measuring tool box, you will need at least two fiberglass measuring tapes, one of 50 m and one of 20 m. You will also need a meter stock of two meter. To have your own needles with you can minimize your problems when you need to announce your courseplan.
