last year during a spirit of utah show team ama sanctioned event we had a pilot meeting befor our show. the cd told us we could not fly behind the flight line where we were standing for safety reasons. there was about 30 feet of grass behind me and a short fence, then grand stands loaded with people. as part of my routine I like to come straight down flat then pop it into hover. the wind was blowing hard directly into my face. I decided on my own with satety in mind that I would bring it around behind me crossing the flight line so as to be into wind instead of risking a downwind pop and hover which is possible but more dangerous. I used about 10 feet of the 30 feet of grass, the cd ran over and gave me and my spotter a stearn warning but did not ask me to land. after I tried to explain that in this windy condition it was actually safer to come in from behind, he did not understand as may not invite me back this year. when it comes to safety, rules, and regs we need 3d safety officers not cd's that do not understand 3d and what is going on. also I was required to stand in one spot and not walk out onto runway like those toc guys.
