Flying the new sequences

[Verne Koester]

Mark,
I'm talking about being the distance out you want to be and then having to either move in closer or further out because of a crossbox maneuver on the end. For me, that usually means that I'm flying the 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 roll and the reverse knife edge further out than I want to be because of the crossbox maneuvers that precede both of them. In both cases, if you were on a good line (distance out) to begin with, choosing to come in on the crossbox turnaround shrinks the box too much and rushes the rolling maneuver that follows. The only option then, is to go out (as little as possible). In either case, the pilot's forced out of a good line, assuming he's on one.

  LOL.Verne.that seems rather oxymoronic.  I can't be too perfect a line if you're not prepared for the upcoming maneuver! J

   

  You're standards are just too high.  I'm not even close to a perfect line and I don't notice it at all!

  Eric,

  For me, it depends on positioning. As a general rule of thumb, I don't like doing a rolling maneuver after a forced cross-box maneuver because it almost always forces you to go out (on the cross box) when you might not otherwise. Actually, I wish we could come up with something new like the humpty w/options that provides the option to adjust or not adjust your line. As I fly the new Masters schedule, I find myself constantly messing up a perfectly good line because of forced, crossbox maneuvers.
