<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Judges are busy with scores and preparing to judge or write scores. They do not need this task and responsibility. Another fact is pilots WILL abuse this situation so they can land there favorite way. A judge is not going to insist a pilot land opposite of what the pilot request.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> We have pilots walking on the field for take off with there planes!</DIV>
<DIV> . Its best to know what direction the planes will be landing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I certainly would not want to see the a judges approve of any landing direction on the spot</DIV>
<DIV><EM>T</EM>he wind direction can change in seconds and then back again.</DIV>
<DIV> I think that situation would be more of a safety hazard. </DIV>
<DIV> We have all had to fly a round until the call was made by the CD. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>. I would prefer to let the CD and the team decide on this as the change is needed. I am not CD for the pattern event so I am not directly involved. My point is safety in general. </DIV>
<DIV>Then again we will vote on these issues and we have time to process all the facts</DIV>
