Is the 200ft below Min Finish Height Rule Working?
PWhat I don't really like is the current rule which results in gliders circling below 700 ft and in some cases below 500 just prior to arrival at the finish location.
What I don't get is why circling at 500 feet to make it over the finish line is a qualitatively different thing than circling at 500 feet to avoid a landout. If you want a hard deck, ask for a hard deck. A hard deck is available by waiver if any CD wants to try it, BTW. Just ask. A hard deck donut is available by waiver if you want to try that too. For higher finishes, just ask the CD. John Cochrane
