Default Sean F2, Evan T8, HELP! Current finish cylinder rule!

Tom,

I agree it does not say guidance but it also does not say a specific altitude. The normal pattern is very vague as well.

I have been very hard on the RC and do not wish to continue to be critical. I will simply provide my observations and try to help everyone improve the rules. I applaud the intent of the rule. But in complex circumstances or flying areas, it has some fairly broad gaps for the CD and pilots to consider.

At the end of the day, its on the pilot. The rules can not guarantee safety unless the altitude is so high that a stall/spin or finish collision with two pilots heads down watching their altimeter is highly survivable.

Sean
