<DIV>Hi Ed</DIV>
<DIV>I have to agree with one of your statements and that is we should score
Landings and take offs.IN BOTH groups for sure. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PATTERN EVENT I was Almost hit
by a run away plane while at full speed landing
(masters or advanced pilot!!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 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 </DIV>
<DIV>directly at me on the pilots station. the plane out of control came at
me.IT</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>STILL tapped my foot. This was at FULL THROTTLE on landing a pattern
plane as I stood two stations away flying.</DIV>
<DIV>Somehow I managed to finish up. I was shaken for quite awhile</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This pilot was in the higher class it could have been masters. Something
went wrong somewhere! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He did apologize these things happen but this was at a pattern event. I
have not had that problem at IMAC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Both groups are working to improve all situations and we are lucky to
have the intelligent support that we have.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>IF we include scores for landings and take off I am sure that will
improve the safety factor for all of us flying.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TIME to get the Sequal out to fly.</DIV>
<DIV>see you all at the flying field</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See you all at the flying fields.</DIV>
