[NSRCA-discussion] landing zone

[george w. kennie]

Boy, I must be falling asleep a lot. When the heck did this change? The book I have says that the landing zone will be an area dilineated by 2 lines perpendicular to the runway placed 30 meters apart. To me, that sounds like 15 meters either side of center. Seems like the older I get the further in the dark I get.

  Jason,
  Interesting wording. The Landing zone WIDTH is the width of the runway, with a maximum of 30 meters in any case. Grass fields could be susciptible to fudging the width to some extent as are large, omnidirectional asphalt areas. It's assumed that you start at the zero line and work it out to a max of 30 m in those cases, unless otherwise marked by contest officials.

  The LENGTH of the zone is 100 meters but its center is undefined explicitly. We have in general assumed it to be +/-50 m centered on each Judges' stand. I believe there is a reference to Landing zone in Judging Guidelines on the website. Any wheel touches outside the zone, zero points

    right of center?
