My point is that moving that poor judgement UP 500-1000 ft DOES help solve problems. Todd My experience is it introduces about as many as it solves: mixed traffic between the cylinder edge and the airport, re-sequencing of traffic from finish to pattern entry, potential for low altitude thermalling to make the 500 (or 1000) foot limit, ballistic pullups below stall speed for the same reason, mixed finish techniques leading to conflicts (pull-up or press on). That's just the ones that have happened so far. Of course none whould have happened had the pilots involved exercised better judgement. On the proximity issue, keep in mind that a low energy finish on a 500' cylinder will have you less than 500' from whatever you're flying over prior to entering the landing pattern and therefore at least as much in violation of any relevant FARs as a gate finisher. My view after reading the regs is they both are legal. Of course we cold solve all of this AND address the 15-minute rule if we just made the rules read that you have to finish no lower than you start. Now THAT would spice things up. 9B |
