Default Is the 200ft below Min Finish Height Rule Working?


Of course, the other alternative is simply to remove this rule altogether and just allow the pilots to make their own choices. It is a quite a pickle...



Personally, I am open to both options. What I don't really like is the current rule which results in gliders circling below 700 ft and in some cases below 500 just prior to arrival at the finish location.

I have to agree. and anyone who circles BELOW 500 when they're that close to the field is a schmuck.
