[NSRCA-discussion] Landings and Takeoffs

[verne at twmi.rr.com]

FAI no longer gets any score for takeoff and landing. It's been very clear that FAI has been trying to shorten the flight time of an FAI flight by reducing the number of maneuvers (19)and enticing pilots to get in the air and into the box as quickly as possible by reducing the time allowed for an official flight. It's rare to even see a procedure turn after takeoff in FAI anymore. All of this was done to accommodate the World's which is a time-intensive event. For FAI, it's all about the aerobatic maneuvers in the box.
