<DIV><FONT size=2>I'd vary from others already... if the deviation from the
prescribed maneuver is to avoid a midair... no downgrade if I'm in the
chair. Complete the maneuver best you can... or refly it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you put in the rulebook to allow the avoidance with no
penalty... you probably would need to require the affected maneuver to be
reflown every time for consistancey. Might even offer a landing and refly
the whole flight...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Its safer if there's no mid-airs... you won't have a crippled
plane limping in while another plays uncontrolled lawn dart. While all of
the cripples I have seen being flown in after a mid-air have landed
fairly safely.... I think there's been a lot of luck involved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I really don't understand how the pilot managed in one
case. Huge divot out of a wing,, dragging an aileron ripped off its hinges
on the same side... damage to the tailplanes.. and he brought it in like a
feather.</FONT></DIV>

Avoidance</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Now the ball is rolling on judging, I have another subject worth
discussion. Not sure it has been actually.</DIV>
<DIV>At N Dallas 2 weeks ago, a midair occurred. Here is the
scenario.</DIV>
<DIV>Both pilots were flying on the same track, but spread apart. On an
endbox manuever, both pulled vertical and both held their nerve(to their
credit) It appeared one plane was inside the other. Suddenly plane
#1 pulled to complete his 1/2 square (which appeared inside plane #2) when #2
cut it in 1/2 and flew through it.</DIV>
<DIV>My question is:</DIV>
<DIV>Can pattern effectively begin or have an "avoidance" rule. These 2
planes were so close had one just pulled the power back a little, let the
other one go on, $6K would still be flying. I realize some overzelous
competitors would use this indescretionately, but still we could write in some
wording indicating judges had to agree it was in the best interest of both
pilots. As well no change to distance out could occur (not making it a
positioning advantage)</DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts on this one.</DIV>
<DIV>Ed</DIV>
