aimpoint

as an aside. I never understood why general aviation pilots continue to use the threshold as an aimpoint in the circuit. If the landing data is predicated on a 30 or 50 feet threshold crossing height then a circuit and finals to something like the 500 foot marker should allow for a touchdown on the runway or the clearway in the event of an engine failure. been a while for me in a lightie though
