Sounds like the "In-flight relight" at a different location, to me.
Best Regards,


It's not a relight, because the task is over for that pilot, and he
can't attempt the task again. The airport bonus is awarded to
encourage safer flying, but did not always have that effect for a
motorglider pilot. The proposed rule attempts to extend that
encouragement to the motorglider pilot. No racing purpose is served by
having the glider land.
