Rule Change Proposal

[Bill Glaze]

Ron:
Excellent thinking., in my opinion.  As one who trashed an airplane 
rather than trashing landing points, (O.K. bad judgment) this resonates 
with me.  But, even before that incident, I wondered just why one should 
be forced to violate good piloting rules?  And, further, in the case of 
the present Intermediate situation, where it is necessary that, after 
finishing the sequence, the pilot is forced to stooge around to situate 
himself for landing, he could, instead, just fly a natural, time 
conserving landing pattern, and land at the direction of his choice.
I'd vote for it, even to the extent of making landing direction optional 
for the pilot.  (May be too radical thinking for some, though.)
