  Derek, appropiate comment for the question at hand. Some pilots I talked to wondered why it was written /phrased as it was. Most felt it really did not need an answer, since if our AMA Masters is our best, hardest, and final destination class, it falls that getting there would be A path to FAI. Not THE path necessarily, but if you could not do those "hardest" maneuvers then you are really at a disadvantage trying to fly FAI maneuvers. I realize Bob threw the question out as a quick "look see", and am glad he did. 
  Follow on, and future questions that are planned to be used as a basis for setting NSRCA Policy ,or approach to some issue, do need to be very carefully worded, and tested, so there is a clear and concise understanding of what you are being asked, and no room for individual assumptions to be developed. 
  I hope we do set up a "systems approach" to defining the path NSRCA wants to follow for class definition and development. Would not be too hard, just a lot of time and aquiring lots of good input from the Membership.
  Jerry
