[NSRCA-discussion] The most important thing to understand about pattern

[John Pavlick]

If I remember correctly Jason you never flew Masters when you were coming up the ranks - you only made it as far as 403 in the AMA classes – correct?

True, but let's not throw F3A under the bus. We have no control of it but do have control over Sportsman-Masters. There is no 'destination class', the only dc is the one you as a pilot chooses. The good thing about the Masters/F3A classes is a pilot can go back and forth between them as they choose. 

I agree that there shouldn't be difficult integrated rolling stuff in Masters, but when pilots complained about a roll across the top 90° (not proposed 180°, which I don't condone) I was perplexed. The easiest way to do that was roll and use your throttle to make the loop round. Sometimes I believe we overthink flying. Look for the simplest solutions first before making it so difficult. 

It would be interesting to have future and current Masters make up or list some 'integrated rolling' maneuvers that you've done or would like to do. If I'm overstepping boundaries not being a Masters pilot, my apologies.

I think we need to decide if we're promoting a forum for the most talented and passionate among us, or maintaining a hobby for the rest. 

Too far in either direction costs us participants.

It has been said many times but you can't teach desire. Reread the last paragraph of Jason's post.

 

Having flown Pattern for so long now I've realized something. Pattern is a passion, a want. You can't 'make' someone a pattern pilot, they have to be one and not know it yet. Yes pattern makes most of the Worlds best pilots, but you can't take a pilot and make them a pattern pilot. If there isn't a drive to become better, not the best (that's the 2% of us), you'll only have a casual or short term pattern pilot at best. At my age I know my time is probably limited as far as being competitive or even having a chance at winning big events anymore, but my drive to be better and push myself is still there. So I will continue to learn new F patterns that will drain me every day I practice because I am a Pattern pilot 😁

When do people leave when the top of mountain is insurmountable and the effort greatly out weighs the benefit. I have heard hundreds of pilots say "this has become too much work" and can't recall one who said this is too easy.
