Sequence comments

[David Lockhart]

hmmmmm.....

Yes, in many respects, an individual proposal does get the same attention and consideration as a group proposal - not necessarily a good thing (clearly a bad thing in my opinion).

Don't forget the substantial controversies and confusion created by recent (and historic) individual proposals.

  It's also important to remind everyone that ANYONE may submit a sequence proposal as a bona-fide rule change to the AMA, following the guidelines.

  If what the sequence committees came up with doesn't suit you, build and submit your own.  Gets equal attention and consideration by the Contest Board, don't forget.

    Kieth, not necessarily. If a bunch of folks have valid concerns, it makes no sense to not listen to them. If you are concerned enough to feel that way, get a bunch of people to fly them and see if they come to the same position, and let your DVP's know NOW. TheDVP's can suggest changes in response to valid, properly supported issues, that a bunch of pilots test and agree need to be fixed.  It still could be fixed, but only with faith that the Sequence Teams understand the issues people have, and then they can do their best to fix them before it goes to AMA. 
    The Sequence Teams have done a great job based on where they were trying to get to. If the majority think something needs fixen, and they can convince their DVP, it could be done.

      Interesting you bring this up. I've spoken to first year intermediate pilots that plan to move to Advanced next year even though they really would be better off flying another year in Intermediate. Their reason is that they want a year of practice with the current Advanced sequence with the inverted exits and pushes to prepare for Masters and feel the 2007 advanced sequences are too easy. 

      As I stated before, I've flown both of the proposed Advanced sequences and I thought they were terrific patterns that flow very well, however, they are easier than the current pattern. I think these excellent patterns could be easily fixed to include inverted maneuvers and still take advantage of the majority of the work. However, at this point I think that's water under the bridge.

        This IS published in advance, and all pilots know it, so there is no problem, at least there was not in the 7 years I was involved. We certainly do not need more rules!!!! Especially a national rule that pertains to just one, 4 day event a year!

        While on the subject of rules changes. A while ago I commented on the "dumbing down" of the Advance pattern, and had just one or two comments. How many of you Advance fliers think that it is prudent to go from 4 inverted maneuvers to NONE. How is that possibly going to prepare you for the difficulty of Masters??? Have any of you even looked at the proposal? How many of you have flown the 2 proposed schedules?

         Sure would like to hear some comments from other Advance and Masters pilots, pro or con!!
