[NSRCA-discussion] all this talk of sequences - Sportsman question

[Verne Koester]

Many Sportsman pilots have trouble dealing with crosswinds, particularly the 
crosswind that blows in. Pilots in other classes have trouble with it too, 
to varying degrees including yours truly. The breaks are to let the 
Sportsman pilots regroup and get a safe distance out before continuing. My 
experience as a judge is that most need it at one time or another. The 
presumption is that the Sportsman-level pilot hasn't yet developed the 
rudder skills needed to deal with a crosswind.
