AMA rules-what are we doing?

[Jeff Hughes]

I guess I'm just missing the point. To some, schedule and practice in intermediate is difficult, but it is not a destination class. If we fly fai at the nats as the top class, logic says that should be the only destination class, not masters. Must be some history here i'm missing.

It really doesn't matter to me, cause I'm a long way from there, just curious is all.

  For one because of the schedule and practice requirements. I have never seen stats on how many sponsored pilots fly in which classes. My guess is none in Sportsman or intermediate and maybe a couple in advanced. Rest hang out in Masters/FAI...  Not all are born with a silver spoon in their pocket or have the type of job that allows the large chunk of time to practice and hone the skills for FAI.  This assumes you are trying to be competitive and not just hanging out.

        This brings up a good point. Why is Master's considered a destination 
        class? Why shouldn't we point out of Masters just like you do on the 
        way up?

      and go where?? What would be the point?
