<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Ed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have to agree with one of your statements and that is we should score Landings and take offs.IN BOTH groups for sure. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>PATTERN EVENT I was Almost hit by a run away plane while at full speed landing (masters or advanced pilot!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I came very close to a sever injury at last years pattern event. Scott A pulled me to safety as I was in the midst of my sequence. A pilot while attempting to land flew his plane </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>directly at me on the pilots station. the plane out of control came at me.IT</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>STILL tapped my foot. This was at FULL THROTTLE on landing a pattern plane as I stood two stations away flying.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Somehow I managed to finish up. I was shaken for quite awhile</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This pilot was in the higher class it could have been masters. Something went wrong somewhere! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>He did apologize these things happen but this was at a pattern event. I have not had that problem at IMAC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> IMAC has its fair share of EXCELLENT experience top gun pilots and it has its fair share of beginners, IMAC has many moving on in groups just as pattern has from beginner to the next. Pattern could learn from IMAC just as well as IMAC can learn from the pattern group.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>IMAC and Pattern should score landings. There should be just as much focus on landing as any other flying maneuver. Just as much practice dedicated to a perfect landing (safety and precision)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You have been at a lot of IMAC events but pattern has a fair share of problems. Did you ever watch beginners with a speeding pattern plane land at a pattern event. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have seen beginners in both. In defense of IMAC I have only had that bad experience with the pattern event and as I said it wasn't even with a beginner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Both groups are working to improve all situations and we are lucky to have the intelligent support that we have.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>IF we include scores for landings and take off I am sure that will improve the safety factor for all of us flying.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>TIME to get the Sequal out to fly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>see you all at the flying field</FONT></DIV>
