<DIV> The problem is not so much with a current Masters pilot flying the "new" schedule. The problem is with an Advanced pilot moving up to Masters. I for one do not feel capable of flying ANY FAI schedule (yet). And if I could, well then I'd just fly FAI and avoid the crowd in Masters. :) Just something to think about. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Replacing the new masters pattern with P-09 probably wouldn't be THAT big of a deal although I don't really like that schedule. Fact is there's nothing in there a masters pilot would have any serious problems with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The same cannot be said for P-11. The first manuever is a figure M with an integrated half roll in the center, effectively placing the plane in knife edge headed down and turning back upward. There are a lot of planes still out there that won't turn the corner; it takes a VERY good plane or a very good pilot to do it correctly. I've been playing with it for 2 years myself. I made sure my plane would do it happily, but the older V2 wouldn't do it happily...and a plane from the Focus era? Have fun. As I said it can be done but it's definitely not fun.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">It has probably been mentioned before but I would recommend simply using the existing-whatever is at that time- FAI P pattern for the masters sequence and allow it to be replaced by the upcoming P pattern every cycle. The pilots are plenty good enough and it would really simplify things and put everyone on the same page. I believe it would be exciting and fun.</SPAN></DIV>
