Default Race of Champions (Pilot Stupidity Fork)

Interesting memory of the opposite behavior: I was in a Region 9 at
Las Vegas NM years ago, and the USAFA cadets were there with their
1-34, Sierra Hotel.

They had a rigid rule: At 500 AGL, land. Period.

A cadet reported the IP on a straight-in final. She was on a perfect
glide slope to the runway -- and at 500 feet, she peeled off and
landed in the boonies.
