John P, Having flown at Bacchus for quite a while this seems a fairly
conservative decision. There are many times at Bacchus when a low finish can
be done quite safely - been there, done that. The issue should be to find
opportunities when it can be done, rather than a blanket ban, otherwise
Terry, its indeed true that there are times when traffic is quiet at Bacchus,
especially at this time of the year. However there are many times when traffic
is very busy especially power traffic from other locations who have limited
understanding of gliding. I often see both local and visiting
don't worry Ron -you will be OK and it is not
intended you have to fly with somebody to prove you can do it. It is for
the newer person and years ago I watched Les Wotten copying what Brad E used to
do in a "low finish" and he soon found himself with no speed heading in the
wrong direction
This is getting harder all the time.
Don't tell me we have to get certified for Chess too,
do we?

I cant believe the fear involved
with this spectacular manoeuvre.
One time in the last 40years has a
fatality occurred in Australia
due to Low level ?
Yes it looks to be dangerous but looks can
be deceiving, please take the time and an unbiased view to asses the real risks
before
The issue appears to be people transposing low finish training to 'beat
ups'. There is a big difference, and both are good fun.
The rules for low finish endorsement are very well written, and require
radio communication with the base and other traffic.
Why would you not simply stipulate the

training in low finishes.
