 I don't see what is wrong or needs to be changed from the old way of
---- calling take-off complete at the altitude of 6 ft or 2 meters. Or
calling landing beginning at  6ft or 2 meters. Why confuse everybody
with something to do between takeoff complete and entry to the box and
the exit box call and landing. It is the FAI procedure that requires the
takeoff sequence.. We don't need a sequence.It wastes time and gives the
judges more work,when it has no function. 
It is simple, takeoff complete at 2 meters or 6ft and enter the box.
Exit box and landing beginning at 2 meters or 6ft. I don't understand
how this got so confusing when it was so simple.
