Landing Direction

[MargueriteVG at aol.com]

Good Morning...... oh oh  here goes...
 I agree it is important to encourage good landings and take  and I will add 
to your statement... why not all classes with take off and landing.  Yes, for 
the most part the pilots in the higher classes will ace the landing.   I have 
seen the higher classes mess up on the landings (yes and almost hit me while I 
was in a contest flying)
  Take off and landing perfectly all the time is the goal for any pilot.  
This seems to be getting so involved. I know I am out for the most part alone on 
this issue and that is  fine with me.  ITs just that I would like to see the 
pattern community respect this issue and set a good example for all pilots 
joining on to Precision Aerobatics.
  A well done take off and a well done landing is certainly part of flying 
aerobatic competition in all classes. Its the start ... and it should be.  I was 
glad to see someone out there was thinking along the same lines here.

Sportsman and Intermediate.  Given the k-factor of their total schedule
it's a meaningful part, and the ability to land well in a high crosswind is
something they'll need to be comfortable with, so it's worth rewarding ann
motivating the practice required to do it well.
