Following the decision of the CIMA plenary in November 2006, one reference to bouncing in Classics classes precision task catalogue was not amended properly.

In the 2007 Annex 4, 2.C3, [If the aircraft bounces the score will be the lowest value of the strips entered.] should be deleted.

A new version 2 of FAI Section 10 Annex 4 has now been issued to correct this error and is available at: http://www.fai.org/microlight/documents/sc10

This version 2 is identifiable in the following ways:

- "Amended 15 January 2007" on the cover page.
- A note at the top of Annex 4 describing the nature of the amendment.
- v2 in the header pages of the amended sections.
