come to the comps and find out... NSW states are about to happen there. on the day, it was an appropriate margin as determined by the race stewards. the pilots all agreed by show of hand. seems a responsible approach (opps no pun) to creating the right safety measures.
bit like gliding in general. make good decisions based on current and expected conditions. one of the first lessons about "continuous integration of information and flexibility in decision making" was on an early check ride. the instructor loaded me up with a set of unexpected things which ended me up low on base. rather that reset my landing to the alt runway nearly straight ahead (that I had forgotten about) I did an unnecessary tight turn onto the planned one. I have never forgotten that lesson of "what are my options" On 2 Mar 2016, at 4:28 PM, DMcD <[email protected]> wrote: >>> 500' feet minima at 3k > > Is the approach over the lake the normal circuit joining area or a > straight in with a limited margin for error? > > So on a normal day when you could expect 500 down in the circuit, that > would leave a safety margin of how much at safe speed (very) near the > ground? > > > D > _______________________________________________ > Aus-soaring mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring
