Currently, one must be ON the runway when exiting the aircraft to get a successful landing, otherwise, it's classified as a ditch. I don't agree with this rule. I would think that as long as you landed on land with wheels down (and don't groundloop and crash) it should be classified as a successful landing. The current rules makes it especially cumbersome for vehicles and boats. It takes forever and a day to get somewhere such that you don't want to waste time returning to your "hanger" to get the credit for a successful "landing". One time, I exited an Ostwind on my base (maybe 100-200 yds) away from the starting point and it got classified as a ditch. Also, I got in a PT boat and decided to exit right away. I had not moved an inch from my starting point yet it classified it as a ditch. If I can't even exit the boat at my original starting point and get at least a successful "landing' then I'm at a loss on the boats. Above all, I enjoy bringing back a crippled airplane and if I land it just off the runway I should get full credit for a successful landing. Anyone else have any thoughts?
