Tom, Tom, Tom,
I don't know where to start with all that. What do I tell my insurance company after picking a fantastic looking field, landing, and hitting a single hidden obstacle that damages the glider? What do I tell my fellow pilots as their insurance premiums go up? You tell them (insurance company & fellow pilots) the SAME thing the non-motored pilot tels then. I screwed up! My proposal doesn't MAKE you land in a field, land at an airport, start your engine if you wish, my proposal ONLY makes the score fair and EQUAL for all contestants. Let's all agree that a contestant may ask the CD to examine the trace of another competitor due to a percieved 'unsafe' action. A panel of judges will play back the trace and the pilot will justify any I can't believe you think something like that would work. The people that run our contests are busy folks, every night they must deal with a whole bunch of problems. XX busted the start altitude, what's his penalty?, lets look at the trace. XA started his engine, get his trace up here, NK & JJ haven't beed heard from, it's 8:00 PM, Lets launch Minden Air. The computer called this a 1000 point day, won't be when,and if we ever find the guys that haven't reported in yet. And so it goes, every night. And NOW you would like to hold a Mini Grand Jury at each pilots meeting? Who's the Judge going to be? The CD, he doesn't have that authority, That's why we have very specific RULES and the CD in in charge of following them (To the letter) JJ Sinclair |
