[NSRCA-discussion] 2015 Proposed Advanced Sequence

[RJ Bohn]

ALCON,

 I went to the site and found the same sequence as last week… I think.   Are these .pdf files dated anywhere?

To everyone who has, a big thanks, we really need this in order to develop sequences that meet the expectations of the majority of the membership. I would add, it is very helpful when these inputs are specific, not just "I don't like it". Much of the criticism about this sequence was in two areas, difficulty and new maneuvers, let me address each.

Each time we develop new schedules, new ones are created or borrowed from other disciplines, like F3A or even do I dare say, IMAC LOL! In this proposed sequence, there are a few maneuvers that were previously not in the catalog, like the Immelman with full rolls, the Hour Glass or the Cobra as we defined. As along at these are in line with class guidelines and it's felt they are appropriate, they are added to the list of allowable maneuvers. Specifically, the Hour Glass was added because we all felt it was appropriate, and a variant of that maneuver is now in Masters and F3A-P. So as you will see, we left it in.
>>  
>> As to difficulty, we had enough pilots indicate concern, that we took another look. In doing so, we realized that we had exceeded some of the boundaries set forth in the Advanced section. The guide has been a living breathing document for the past few cycles, so we could have modified the guide to allow for this sequence, but it was felt this was the wrong approach. Now, for the next cycle, we will be recommending some changes to the guide (for BOD approval) which would allow more flexibility, however for now, we are modifying the sequence to adhere to the guidelines. Specifically, there are only limited number of inverted entries and exits, on turn around maneuvers, executed at a low altitude. You will see in the new sequence, we simply added and removed rolls, which brought the number of inverted sections in line. The basic structure and class of each maneuvers, are really unchanged.
