That's exactly the problem, Justin. The dehydrated
mind doesn't pick up on the fact that speed is bleeding
off, too much, before arriving at the finish line.
A properly functioning mind will see what's happening
and opt for a rolling finish.

Oops, Typos.........make 1986, not 1086 and pre GPS,
not per GPS

As a pilot who practices high speed low finishes, I
think that attention needs to be drawn to the fact
that 85knots is simply not fast enough when finishing
at 50 ft. At that speed, the height gained from a pull
is not going to be enough to complete a safe circuit.

I would agree that this low energy low finish was
possibly as a result of dehydration.
