<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From what I've seen most F3A competitors do some
pretty sweet landings anyway... Makes me sick whenever I watch Bryan Hebert
land... Hell, when he's practicing for the Nats he only cuts about a 50x15
rectangle in our runway so he has enough room to work (he's the only one who
flies during the week)... But I completely understand where Jason's coming from
on the time limits, plus at that level the landing and takeoffs are kind-of a
given...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>You (FAI) still have to take off and land. How much

you do now. I suspect the landing would be the same as you still have

seconds more to fly smoothly to 2 meters before turning somewhere?
Keep the time limit as it is on the flying portion and just score the

<DIV>Why would FAI have less time for scored TO's/L's than any other
class? With the exception of Sportsman (and possibly
Intermediate), FAI flys the shortest sequence. Masters in
particular takes way longer.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I'd much rather see take-offs
and landings be judged. What's the incentive of having a
pilot learn how to learn a proper (and safe) take-off and landing
if there is no 10 to shoot for? And not a 0 or 10, but scored.
Just because it wouldn't be scored doesn't make a pilot try and
make a safe take-off or landing.</FONT></DIV>

say it here, JMHO. I personally don't think
takeoffs and landings should be judged. These are
the maneuvers that put the plane closest to the
pilots/judges/spectators. I've seen some bad
takeoffs and landing approaches pushed
to dangerous situations when they would
probably have been aborted had they not been
scored maneuvers. At the very least, the airplane
is at risk. At the most, people are at risk. I've
had one plane fly behind my head at the Nats
(between myself, my caller, and the judges) during
a landing when the plane got away from the pilot
during one such occurance. I've also seen a plane
slam into a person in the pits at full throttle,
just after lifting off the ground, when the plane
first veered away from the pits and the pilot
forced the takeoff by kicking rudder to get it
back on the runway. At no point did he back off
the throttle. In most situations such as this,
anyone would have aborted and started over, but
because they are being judged they keep on pushing
a bad situation.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=inherit
