Default BGA Comp rules 2007

Missed this bit, in the List of Approved Penalties:

"Finish and approach to finish - hazardous or
prohibited manoeuvre including :-
1) flight below 30' AGL outside the declared airfield
perimeter other than an emergency straight-in
approach where it is not possible to maintain safe
airspeed to maintain the minimum ground clearance
or in the event of an out-landing. FR evidence from
500' above airfield elevation will be used to verify
any deliberate planning of energy management that leads
to flight below the minimum limit. Such proven cases
will not be exempt from penalty.
2) any approach that does not describe a descending
flight path other than to convert from a straight in
approach to a go around or for reasons of flight
safety."

So that is what the BGA and the CAA believe will prevent any future
incident like the HusBos one.
