BS = Bachelor of Science or maybe Brilliant Student or maybe Bright Star.
Hmmm, I wonder what BS could be?

Yes, sonny, I do.  However, Don Lowe and Ron Chidgey still dabble in
pattern, so I can't claim to BE the oldest pattern pilot around these days.

I think I'm about the oldest pattern pilot around these days, so I feel well
qualified to comment.   I can't fly as well as I used to, partly because I
can't  see as well as I used to, despite four eye surgeries to try to
correct the problems.  That being said, I will continue to fly in the Master
class for two reasons.  First, I have seen many Advanced class pilots
perform and most of them would beat me too.  Second, I occasionally do beat
a fellow Master class pilot or two and it brings me great satisfaction.

  I know a lot of guys who have been coming to just about every contest for
years who have never broken into the top half of their classes.

Some don't seem to care about standings and like flying in their classes.
That's OK as long as they participate and have fun doing it.

I honestly didn't know the rules were in place to accommodate our fliers. So
while it's a nice debate it's somewhat moot.

Now that I  know this rule I will be telling guys about it because I feel
many do not know.

Thanks all for the insightful input.

I suspect the main reason for this discussion is to allow our aging pilots
to move down.

 

How many CDs out there and/or competitors would object to a masters pilot as
an example moving down to advanced because he can't see well enough to
continue flying masters.

 

I for one would not. I would rather they continue to compete rather than
hang it up.

 

Perhaps those pilots that move down could disqualify themselves from
District championship contention and/or trophy consideration for local
contest (i.e., they would be flying for fun).

I suspect that may have been the case.  I think the rule is support for the
peer pressure that

generally works well.  I hope the new wording of "should move" doesn't erode
the system.  If the class

system goes away....do we then call it a pattern fly in?   <VBG>

This rule has been in place longer than I have been flying pattern.  There
must have been some compelling reason to implement it as the only thing that
never changes is resistance to change.   There must have been some glaring
examples of sandbagging going on.
