<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's a miracle that I'm not more confused than I am
what with the many disparities between the AMA protocols and the FAI stuff. Just
when you think you are sure of a specific rule, you discover that someone is
raising a question based on a different genre. At Joe Walker's reference I
decided to see if I could find the landing zone specs and realizing the original
question came from Jay I dug out my FAI stuff. Took me a few hours, but it's in
there and the jist of it is..........." if you're flying on a runway that's less
than 30 meters wide, the landing zone will be determined by a circle of 30
meters diameter. If the runway is greater than 30 meters wide, then the landing
zone will be determined by two lines 100 meters apart." I am assuming that
this should imply 50 meters either side of center. That's 164 feet on each side
of center guys. I've always heard it rumored that "pattern flyers can't land".
Could this be International confirmation of the rumor?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It appears, to me, that the International
stringency requirements suddenly become extremely lenient in this area or am I
missing something?</FONT></DIV>
