Default Finish Gate Accident no. 2

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.

Justin
