So if you complete the last figure and have the 15meter of straight flight wings level...you are done....After than you can take as much time as you like to land and that would even include go arounds...the rule doesn't say you can't and there is no penalty for it. The landing score is gone so you didn't violate the landing
sequence. Before a go around was a zero score because it didn't follow the landing sequence. There is no more landing sequence. Even applying the AMA rule for extra passes because the FAI book is silent you could not zero any of the figures, as the AMA rules state the next maneuver gets a zero. Since all maneuvers are already scored there is nothing to zero and you can't go backwards into the sequence and start taking zeros on figures completed properly under the rules.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Troy Newman</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR> <DIV lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> <A href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org"

With the older P schedule, it was not difficult to exceed 10
minutes if the takeoff and landing sequences were very large and slow (1 minute for takeoff seq, 45 sec to land – pretty easy to save 30 seconds on these alone), and the sequence was big and relaxed. Now, the Prelim sequences are 19 maneuvers (as are the finals sequences) – which means about 90 seconds less airtime – so dropping the clock from 10 to 8 minutes is not a biggy.</SPAN></FONT></div> <div><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT> </div> <div><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My understanding is that the Prelim sequences were shorted to shorten the duration of the Prelims at the Worlds – 2 minutes x 4 rounds x 100 pilots makes a huge difference.</SPAN></FONT></div> <div><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT> </div> <div><FONT
