What if the first guy has minimal energy and ends up in the middle of the runway? You have to plan for that - which is why you keep extra energy in the pattern until committed to land. In this case, until the guy can hop out and get his glider off the runway, you now have 2 choices - land long (same as before, just a shorter runway to do it on) or land short (not a good choice unless you are last in the gaggle landing or are also low on energy, then probably best to land on brick one and get off runway as soon as possible - anyone following you should be able to see that soon enough to land long. Maybe we need a Condor mission made up that simulates this situation? Kirk |
