</style>I have been impressed by the spirit of fair play and
sportsmanship in the NSRCA since returning to pattern.<br>
I feel though that there has been an oversight in the rules that I
think now could be corrected.<br>
I just got in from flying my Focus II for the first time since last
October.<br>
It (I) was terrible! The long winter layoffs here in the northern
climes imposes a real hardship on pattern pilots living here.<br>
To be fair I would like to propose an adjustment to the maneuver
k-factors based on the annual mean temperature and <br>
extreme lows (I want to leave out highs) of where one lives. <br>
For example my lowest k-factor would be 10 for landing and takeoff and
then go up from there according to degree of difficulty of<br>
maneuver. In some cases I can see 20+ easily.<br>
Folks like Derek, Ron Davies, Chris Fitzsimmons living in California
would have highest k-factors of 1...who knows...maybe even fractional
or minus. These k-factors would be assigned by pilot and voted on only
by members that have at least 24" of snow each year.<br>
What do you all think?<br>
I want to be fair.<br>
