Spot Landing
The target landing area will be marked out as in the diagram above.
- Start with the a/c ready on the runway and the pilot standing in the pilot’s box. The pilot will open the throttle and the stopwatch is started.
- The pilot’s airplane will take off and climb for 30 seconds at which point the pilot will be told to cut the throttle and perform a dead stick landing, with the aim being to land with the wheels first touching the runway within the marked areas.
- Any pilot who causes his a/c to nosedive, making a heavy landing sustaining damage or landing so fast that the a/c leaves the ground again, will be disqualified for that round.
Each pilot will have two attempts.
Points will be awarded as follows:-
15 Points for landing in centre area 2.5mtrs x 2.5mtrs
10 Points for landing in the middle area 5mtrs x 5mtrs
5 points for landing in the outer area 7mtrs x 7mtrs
1 Point for landing on the runway outside the marked area.
Come and join in, it will be great fun.
