Well

Right of way Hmmmmmmmmm


It is the callers job to look for and visualize any potential problems. Rick can tell you at this years regionals somehow we were flying side by side when I had to do a snap. Well guess what .....I did the snap (actually looked cool behind Ricks plane) and kept going. If the collision is iminent the pilot or the caller hollers avoidance, then you re-enter the box and fly the manuever you were in or going to fly. It has happened where both caller and pilot believe the planes are on separate lines and WHAM they hit. One purpose of the bootcamp is to give you an idea of how to fly the sequence.



Eddie
p.s. Possibly Tuesday I will get with Jarrod and have him video the basic sequence. Remember the video will not give you spacial orientation.
