With a total score of 11 out of 15 total points, flight instructor David Yacono won yesterday's Spot Landing Contest. Flying with the TSS Flying Club in N64186 (a Cessna 172 with a secret weapon... 40 degrees of flaps available), Dave made consistent, mostly stabilized approaches, straddling the runway center line as the main landing gear touched down on the first half of the "thousand foot marker" or touchdown zone. Good job Dave!
Coming in close behind were Frank Bosemans, also of TSS and also flying N64186 (do we sense a pattern here?); and Danny Hayes of Congressional Flying Club, who flew N5135R, also a Cessna 172. Frank and Danny scored 9 points each.
A total of 14 pilots flew 9 airplanes. Two additional pilots wanted to participate but we ran out of time! Thanks to both of you for your understanding and kindness to the judges, who were cooking out in the sun toward the end.
We'd like to thank each of you for demonstrating excellent Pilot in Command skills and judgment throughout the event. The only sweat on the judges' brows came from the hot mid-day sun. For that, we consider the event a great success. We hope the pilots had fun and learned something, too, not just from the pre-flight safety briefing but from practicing their art in a fun atmosphere.
Special thanks to Robert Hawkins and Robert Gawler for helping to judge the contest, working the radios, and as always, offering much good cheer.
We hope more of you will consider flying in the contest next year! Thanks again to all who participated.
