Clinton International Fly-In • 2007 Contests; Style & Grace Spot Landing

2007 Fly-In ]
[ Spot Landing ] [ Nerf Drop ]  

Style & Grace Spot Landing:
40 Pilots each made three attempts to touch down  in a 75 long zone known as "Green Acres",  located near the middle of runway 3/21. Green Acres was marked with green painted lines front and back and one green centerline. In order to receive a landing score, any part of the airplane must make the first point of contact with the runway inside Green Acres. Having achieved that somewhat difficult task, landings were then scored on a scale of 1 to 10, by three judges, based on style and grace, like an Olympic ice skating contest. Note that any score on this contest is an worthy achievement, nearly a quarter of the contestants missed all three landings. (If the above math doesn't seem to add up, keep in mind that some pilots flew in the contests more than once, if so, only their last attempt was considered, even if is was worse than an earlier attempt .)

Rankings are by best average score, as follows: Total score of three attempts, divided by 3 (judges), then divided by 3 (landings), rounded to the second decimal place. Pilots that scored zero on all three attempts are omitted. Tie scoring pilots are listed alphabetically by last name.
