Landing accuracy for license requirement

[dthames 0]

I am finishing up my A license requirement for landing accuracy and slightly overflew my landing target. I touched down and ran it out. Then I thought, where do I measure from? I guess it would be where you touched down. Is that the general consensus?

FIrst point of contact.

I don't think the SIM specifies, I think Zone Acc uses first point of contact, PRO Rating requires the start and stop point to be withing 5m of the target ... all that being said, I personally used the farther of the two from the target. So if I was short, I'd use first point of contact. If I was long, I'd count from where I stopped.

So for 2 meter accuracy you would not be running very many of those out, or taking mighty small steps.

Depending on canopy, wingloading, wind, pilot skill, etc
