[NSRCA-discussion] New Club Class for Precision Aerobatics

[Joe Lachowski]

And I forgot. Make it one loop, not two.  We need to make within the capability of 99% of a club members, not the top 10 to 20% of club members.

I have been waiting for the this sequence to be announced to consider its use in a club members event and it falls short. It should be closer to a fun fly event in nature not an aerobatics contest.

A poorly designed sequence of maneuvers. It shows how out of touch we are with the average club sport flyer.


If it were up to me, the inverted flight would be a simple roll and the procedure turn could be a stall turn that would be visible to the pilot instead of awkward looking as a centered maneuver. Better yet, maybe we should drop the stall turn. We should look at this sequence as being capably done with a 40 size trainer

I would also incorporate a horizontal figure 8 in it, as well.  Most clubs that I know of and belong to require a Horizontal Figure 8 to pass their solo test.

It’s the whole “aerobatic box” concept that freaks out the average sport pilot. Believe me – it’s a BIG deal to them.

All,



This is a note from Jon Carter from the NSRCA BoD.  FYI!



Announcing the NSRCA “Club Class!

Whether you want to call it Club class or Novice class or whatever, it’s OK, as long as we get more people flying pattern! What is this? Good question, we have heard from the membership that it would be nice for the NSRCA to define a non-rulebook pattern entry level event that a CD could offer if they so decided. This would be a non-turnaround “old-school” type of pattern that any club flyer could do and yet still be challenged by. It will give the CD the opportunity to grab some of the “hot dog” type sport flyers at his club, and maybe some old time pattern pilots, and hand them a maneuver/downgrade sheet and say “come on out to the pattern contest next weekend and see what you can do!” Who knows, if he can get three or four club flyers to come out maybe some will think, “Hey, this is fun! I could learn that Sportsman pattern” Worst case it will get some more club flyers to participate in local events which always makes it easier to “sell” a pattern contest to the local club officers! So, dust off those older pattern planes and those sport planes and come out and have some fun! Look on the NSRCA website under the Sequence tab for the maneuver list and descriptions.
