[NSRCA-discussion] Collision Avoidance Breaks

[John Pavlick]

Wow, I didn't see this rule either. I've never actually seen it put to use. Every time I've witnessed a midair, whoever was involved either landed immediately or picked up the pieces and flew another plane in the next round. I've never seen someone try to resume a flight from the point of a midair.

>From the AMA Rulebook:
 
10.3: In the case of a collision during a Pattern flight, the contestants must immediately recover their aircraft. They may resume their flights with the same aircraft if the aircraft are judged to be airworthy or with a backup or repaired aircraft. They will begin with the maneuver that was in progress or with the next scheduled maneuver if the collision occurred between maneuvers. The previously defined starting times will apply for a resumed flight and the contestant will be allowed no more than two (2) passes in front of the judges for the purpose of trimming the plane. Scores of the previous maneuvers will be added to the scores of subsequent maneuvers in the resumed flight. The flight must be completed by the end of the round being flown, or within a time frame designated by the CD.
 
Hope this helps though it’s little comfort when put to use,
