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.
