Can someone clear up the matter concerning failing for not going into your chosen field?
I was practising PFL's recently and I thought that the whole idea is to make sure that you get that plane down safely. PRIORITY.
Now, when practising, part of the selection process is a suitable field that has an undershoot, and overshoot and even better big enough to land directly into wind. So on a skills test, I come in a little too high and adjust for my overshoot field...does that mean a fail?
Obivoulsy taking into account that you do not always have the pleasure of overshoots and undershoots but I cant understand why adjusting your choice for something more suitable as the excercise progresses is a bad thing.
So can anyone clear this up as we currently seem to have conflicting views on the matter.
