i've seen this several times, that you're supposed to land by aiming the plane at you (which would put you in the middle of the runway?)?

at my club you are supposed to remain in the flying boxes and land on the runway.

frankly, if i understand what he said, it sound pretty dangerous, as "stepping out the way" seems fraught with the opportunity to make a mistake and take a plane in the chest.
