 Pattern is on the rise in my area D5. In Missouri alone this year they had 5 contests and they were pretty well attended. We had 40 contestents at the D4 champs in KY. too! It might be a regional problem. Mike

Clubs can't justify holding a contest if only a handful of contestants show up. Many clubs that used to hold pattern contest no longer do. From that perspective the pattern scene isn't well. Just look at the NSRCA numbers and one can see the major decline.

Nope, not again...


 


I think pattern is a great tool for teaching pilots a lot about flying.  The short time that I spent practicing has taught me a lot.  It is so much more fun trying to learn to rudder correct than it is learning to hover.....I was teaching a young kid at our field the other day.  I never really taught the use of the rudder until I started flying pattern.  I just figured they would start using it someday, now I am trying to get people to mess around with it early in their training.
