[NSRCA-discussion] New Club Class for Precision Aerobatics

[ronlock at comcast.net]

Good idea - I agree with it being non-turnaround. 
Suggest name    "Intro to Pattern" 
  
It doesn't suggest you need to be practiced/prepared, or 
suggest it's for novice/beginner pilots.  I fits with being 
offered at a pattern contest, and suggests it's a path to 
something further.

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 gi ve 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.
