Junior World Championships - FAI Rules Absurdity
9B,
It's just the nature of the range of variables. Pilots flying ATs have to read the weather, terrain and clouds just the same. But the small turnpoint forces RACING rather than making big bets on those variables over a wide range of area. This introduces luck and chance, ie stumbling on to something others may not find, good or bad. Comically, AATs are referee to as HATs (half ass tasks) by many of the better pilots I know...and I agree. These should be absolute last resort tasks, not the norm. Sean
