Continuous Routines

Danny brought up a point about how current contests have the pilots calling their next maneuver and performing a "reset" before each maneuver.

I was thinking about full scale air shows and helicopter demonstrations. Interestingly, in those events, the aircraft actually do reset in order to perform a maneuver at show center. All of which is to say that I think we should let pilots decide how they are going to execute their routine. In the "Artistry" part of the judging, I suppose a judge could reward a pilot who chooses to smoothly move from one element to the next.

Food for thought!
