If this has been an Airspace infringement the description in the scoring of




"Hazardous Maneuvre" is rather unfair on the pilot and misleading the public

The wording used is developed and approved by contest management, as scorers we just follow the guide lines.

Hi Ron

You are absolutely correct. Annex A Par. 8.7 List of Approved Penalties states under

Dangerous or hazardous flying
(entering forbidden airspace vertically or horizontally)
first Offence outlanded at point of airspace entry.

However I just personally feel that " Airspace violation " may have been a
more appropriate description of the penalty rather than the implied Hazardous
Maneuvre.
