All the pictures from the WGC in Sweden shows gliders either
inside the airfield perimeter (after crossing the finish
line for a straight in landing) or on final approach after a
speed finish. Piltos flying below 50 metres at the finish
line were penalized.

If you were so low out side the airfield you will hit the
trees that are visible in the photos.

Low finishes was a topic taken seriously by both the comp
management and our stewards.

Is it normal at UK contests to finish as described in the accident
report or are approaches more conservative without the known photo
