you would downgrade the pilot for not avoiding the sun?? Like I said, harsh.
Yes. Why didn't they pull sooner or later. It would be a one point deduction on one presentation score. Not too harsh. The pilot that controls his plane better so I can judge it doesn't get the 1 point deduction on the score for presentation.
Dean you know perfectly well that if the sun is an issue there are MANY times that it is not as simple as pulling sooner or later. And again, this is a CD issue. Why has the CD let it happen such that the judges have to stare into the sun?? Why are you so quick to look for downgrades. Remeber at the heart of all of the rules is to give the benefit of the doubt to the pilot.
