<DIV><BR></DIV>I think one of the biggest problems we face right now is the void in Advanced. The Advanced sequence this time around was made just a tad more difficult and some of us in the sequence committee are all for changing Advanced every two years along with Masters. In my opinion, some are moving up to Masters too quick. Changing Advanced more frequently along with changing the advancement requirements might just be the ticket for keeping guys in Advanced a little longer. Hopefully, we can build up this class to where it should be which should increase the judging pool at local contests. I am also for allowing guys to move back to Advanced when the new sequences come into use.<BR> <BR>

We assumed that was easy for someone that is very familiar to pattern to digest the intent of the proposal. Your conclusions are correct. We are assuming that the current procedures we use to design the Master schedule are not changed. We adopt the current FAI P schedule with the appropriate changes to suit the Master class. This is the reason why we didn't try to discuss other details. </B></STRONG>For example, it says "there is an evident pile up f pilots in the Masters class" but never clearly states how flying the same sequence would change that. He may be implying that people will more freely move between classes to balance the lines because they are flying a similar sequence but the sequences may not be identical and the judging rules are not identical. <STRONG><B>Correct. You actually saw what happened in Tulsa this year. There were 10 pilots in Masters and you decided to divide the group in two and five flew Masters and five flew FAI. This also happened already in other local contest around KC. It happens at Fort Scott contest also. Pilots will be more willing to do this we fly the same schedule. </B></STRONG>At another point it says "This will make judging of both classes very accurate" but doesn't address the obvious differences in judging criteria between AMA and FAI, which is the current burden that Masters and FAI pilots currently bear when the fly one class and judge the other.<STRONG><B> I am sure that we will agree that it will be a lot easier to deal with these differences if we fly the same schedules. The proposal intent is not to address the differences in judging criteria between AMA and FAI. I believe that it will become natural as we start to fly the same schedule and the differences will go away with time. </B></STRONG>Finally, there is no exact wording proposed on the form where it is expected, but later in the logic it refers to the idea of replacing some FAI maneuvers where appropriate. <STRONG><B>We are assuming that the current procedure to design the schedules is still in place. The committee will check the current FAI P schedule and proposed a final one with the changes to make it suitable for Masters. For example, P11 the only portion I will change is the integrated half loop on the figure M. I will suggest something like 2 of 4 or 1/2 roll on bottom to replace the integrated 1/2 roll. I believe that all other maneuvers are suitable for Masters. </B></STRONG>Without exact wording, its not clear how this is done, or if the maneuver descriptions will be re-written in the AMA rules, or referenced to the FAI descriptions like the sequence. <STRONG><B>The committee will decide whatever is appropriate. If they feel that the FAI descriptions are appropiate we could use it as is.</B></STRONG> Oh, and how does AMA deal with the fact that FAI changes schedules in odd years?<STRONG><B> We will need to follow FAI schedule. I think that this is very possible and should not be a problem. </B></STRONG></SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=ecxecxMsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My intent is simply to point out aspects that detract from it's thoroughness. I do not yet have a stance on the issue.<STRONG><B> We put this together just taking at the 2008 Nats. I remember that I have to judge FAI and I never had the chance to judge FAI before the Nats. I was trying to study the FAI schedule at the same time that I was trying to fly my own contest. This is clearly an additional pressure on the contestant. If this proposal pass it will make our life easier at the local contest and when we judging at the Nats or any other contest. Also, clearly will make the judging level very high because Masters and FAI pilots will be very familiar with the schedules we fly and the details requires to judge each of the maneuvers. Finally, the balance in local contest will be easier to fix since we will more willing to fly FAI when required. </B></STRONG></SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT></P>
