The problem is of course, that this is only accurate at a single point. As the pilot gets deeper into the box the crossing point of the 150 degree line gets farther and farther out. The actual endpoint of 1,000 feet to the side of the pilot occurs ONLY on a line270 in front of the pilot.
Quite correct. This is why the judge must take note of the established line the pilot takes when he begins the sequence. If the aircraft strays out further, the judge takes the increase distance into account, when determining how close the aircraft is to the end of the box.
Again, not a perfect solution, and somewhat subjective, but certainly better than nothing.
I disagree since once the pilot is past 270 feet out he will be breaking the end box as he crosses the sight line. Asking a judge to "judge" how to adjust that is far too subjective for me.
