I would recommend ALL NSRCA members to contact their VP and let them know...

"Bill:
I am a big Competition fan and will support competition to the end.
However, I am just about the only one left on the council that does support
it.  Many want the NATS eliminated completely. "

 

That's distressing to hear. I hope my district VP is one that wants to see
competition and the NATS continued. I'd like to know his thoughts on this.
If I ever see him again I'll ask him. If he has the wrong answer he'll not
get my support again.

The NATS has 1st priority on field use.  If a sport pilot drives up and
wants to fly, they have to wait until competition is over.  The NATS does
not cave to sport pilots, but we should accommodate them when we can.

Ed: I agree.  If the AMA is going to cave to those locals who are
inconvenienced by their not having access during Nats,, perhaps the AMA
should limit their membership to only include those locals, and eliminate
all other "outside" activities..  I'm sure that their numbers could support
the entire AMA and all the peripherals.  Yeah, Right. (Upkeep on the site,
etc. as well as running the general association.)

Inasmuch as my only inconvenience is a good-sized hotel bill, and about 1600
miles (total) on my vehicle, I guess elimination of this "inconvenience"
(the Nats) would be an asset.  And, because of where I am, I readily
recognize my "inconvenience" is a lot less than some others, who are coming
from further.

I wish to register a complaint.  What form do I sign?  :-)  The AMA site is
inconveniently located for my normal weekend practice.  Why are my dues
supporting a tiny fraction of AMA membership to have access to a flying site
that I can't drive to easily?  In other words, who cares about the
complaints of the locals.  It's OUR site and the vocal minority have
exclusive access for the rest of the year.  Tough noogies.

It really isn't just about cutting costs either. It is also about other AMA
membership complaining about the site not being available for their use. You
would not believe the number of complaints AMA has had about the AMA site
being tied up. That is why the overall Nats at the site has been shortened
in length. 
 
If you are on 72, better plan on moving over to SS in the future. I've heard
rumours that the AMA has been considering making the AMA site SS only in the
future.

This is really funny. They want to bring the nats to 2 weeks to cut costs. I
am sure they make money the way it is. Take this for what it is, heresay,
but  I heard that the members of the club were complaining that the nats
takes too much of their time away from their field for them to fly. Wasn't
the field built for a localized nats site? And I'm pretty sure we all paid
for it. The ama will lose out if they go to a 2 weeks nats IMO. Wait till
they see entry's decline.

That is a possibility also.  AMA is thinking about returning the NATS to a 2
week all-events NATS like used to be done.  If all events are together, HQ
can put all costs into one effort.  If they are all split up, Each group
would have more costs to deal with due to the fact that HQ can't send a
group of people to every site.

Why not allow the SIGS to do their own thing? IMAC and NSRCA do not need to
share a site. The LSF can find a site for the soaring NATS. Pylon knows what
venues work for them and so on. FF can do their own thing as well. Why tie
soaring and FF together and so on??

Matt:
Yes, it is just difficult to tell if it is actually feasible.  The problem
is that it requires a large site for Pattern/Pylon/IMAC and will require
another large site for Soaring/Outdoor FF.  It may be very difficult to
actually find places that can handle this group.
