<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you had a dangerous situation in Knoxville
what prevented the CD from just making the decision that for that event that
pilots could land into the wind regardless of take-off direction? I've been to
several contests were the CD made to/landing rule declarations in the interest
of safety.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hardly believe this is a real emergency
considering that it's been the case for years now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll reiterate</FONT> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>that I'm not coming out in opposition to the rule, but Lamar makes a
good point about the survey. In the interim let CD's exercise common sense.
For that matter so can pilots. If you're situation was really dangerous just
take the zero and then appeal the safety aspect with the CD to try and reverse
the zero.</FONT></DIV>
