NEW CONTEST - Negotiating

NEW CONTEST - NegotiatingLarry O..

Was that with the new one or the test from last year?

I did the same thing last year and called AMA to confirm that it was an error on the test. They said they would change it. I just looked at the  CD application on the AMA website and it has in fact changed. I didn't take the test though.

See ya,

Larry

  Just joking, but most of the questions seemed like that at first glance...

  Eric,

  Congrats on getting a new contest on the schedule when pattern contests seem
  to be declining, at least here in Colorado.

  Watch out for the CD test!  There is one multiple choice question that does not 
  have a correct answer listed. I wrote in the correct answer <g>.

            In my latest MA column (that probably hits the streets in about three months - plus two???) I wrote about running a contest from a CD's perspective. I spent some time on how to persuade a club to let you use their field etc. Often the sticking point is that they lose their field for two days. 

            Well wouldn't you know it,  I was up in front of my local club last night lobbying for a new contest and that objection came up. The answer that worked was, "It's not really two days - the field can be opened up about 5 PM after the first days flying and after about 2 PM on the Sunday".  I added that if they wanted clinic the week before for club members it would be a joy to do, and the whole meeting turned around to positive.

    (The result BTW is that there will be a new contest called West Windsor Season Finale Pattern Contest, in NJ on Sept 13 and 14 at a field just off of Rt. 38 with easy access from exit 4 of the NJ turnpike and exit 43 of I-295).

    Now all I have to do is complete my CD test, send in a sanction and get all the D-1 and in-range-D-2 pilots to show up.....

    Regards, 

    Eric.
