I would be strongly opposed to any rule that would require one to qualify for advancement to the next class or in some way periodicaly demonstrate the ability to stay in a class. I personally don't buy into the notion that class sequences may be either "dumbed down" or made too difficult. The sequences are what they are. You practice em, you fly em , and you sh....God Bless all of the previous sequence committees who worked hard with no pay to give us what we have (including the current advanced sequence). It's my belief that these committee's have applied appropriate guidelines or methodology to derive the sequences for each class. IMHO flying pattern should be a challenge and one should fly the sequence that best challenges them thus no
Advancement rule. If you can't find a particular sequence that suits you then just like the weather in Texas...wait awhile it'll change :) </DIV>
