[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[John Konneker]

Jason,
I'm going to have to think about that for a while.
That adds a lot of complication.
...my heard is hurting already...

John,
 
How about, instead of making the patterns available at the end of the previous year, they are made available two days before the Nats? This will give everyone the same amount of time to practice. Then all the K-Factors can stay the same and not penalize the score keepers... ;)

The long winter layoffs here in the northern climes imposes a real hardship on pattern pilots living here.To be fair I would like to propose an adjustment to the maneuver k-factors based on the annual mean temperature and extreme lows (I want to leave out highs) of where one lives.  For example my lowest k-factor would be 10 for landing and takeoff and then go up from there according to degree of difficulty ofmaneuver.  In some cases I can see 20+ easily.Folks like Derek, Ron Davies, Chris Fitzsimmons living in California would have highest k-factors of 1...who knows...maybe even fractional or minus.  These k-factors would be assigned by pilot and voted on only by members that have at least 24" of snow each year.What do you all think?I want to be fair.JLK
