<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The FAI system is a take-off procedure and
landing procedure. They also use a time-to-do-the-schedule system. They
changed over to the 0 or 10 system to prevent hot-dogging, time-wasting
and maneuver practicing during a contest.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The simple answer is call the takeoff complete when it is complete and
that is when the turnaround is done just before the call for "entering the
box." Call the landing when it begins and that is just after the last
maneuver in the sequence or after the plane is "out of the box" at the
end of the sequence. You could call "exit the box, landing
sequence". The landing is complete after the model has rolled 10
meters and is below flying speed. The question is, what is the
downgrade if the calls are not made? The only downgrade is 10 points
resulting is zero if this was the intent of the regs (I'm almost certain
this was not intended). There are areas of the new rules that
seem to leave some area for wiggle here so I'll have something official
on this soon.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif">The main question came from a new
sportsman pilot that will be atending his first contest next weekend, he
helped scribe last year at the D4 D5 shootout and knows how it was done
last year, it's a real simple question and theres not an answer to it
yet.</FONT></DIV>
