[NSRCA-discussion] P15... And judging FAI

[Jas]

I don't have the descriptions in front of me but I'm pretty sure all equal radi.

While i doubt P15 will be discussed long (not much in the pattern needing discussion) what about a 'short' discussion on what Masters pilots will need to do to in order to both fly Masters well AND judge P/F15 with confidence. I'm lucky to have 3 Masters pilots (2 Advanced and an Intermediate learning Advanced) at my club field so I know the Masters/Advanced routines as well as I know the FAI patterns (makes it easy to judge Masters for me) but that's not the case everywhere. Should Masters pilots (and this would work for all classes) study and learn both of the FAI patterns? What do others do?
