Lance,

 

2.4 is already a requirement in all other disciplines except sailplanes, and that exception is only until they solve a technical issue with the all carbon fiber fuselages. AMA considers it a safety issue and requested that we go 2.4 at the 2010 Nats at the Planning Meeting. I petitioned the NSRCA Board and the decision was made to require 2.4 in Masters and F3A for 2010 as 90% of the pilots in 2009 were already there. It will not be required in Intermediate and Advanced until 2011. The requirement will be on the 2010 Nats entry form and I will announce it in my Nats invitation in the January K-factor.

 

I'm sure someone is unhappy, but after they think it through they will agree it makes sense and everyone's equipment will be safer for it.

 

Regards

Dave
