think&nbsp;one of the biggest problems we face right now is the void in
Advanced. The&nbsp;Advanced sequence this time around was made just a tad more
difficult and&nbsp;some of us&nbsp;in the&nbsp;sequence committee are all for
changing Advanced every two years along with Masters. In my&nbsp;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&nbsp;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>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>I know
official discussion hasn't started but this list is one of the good vetting
forums.&nbsp; Vince proposed Masters flying FAI P, which is clear <strong><b>(this
is for sure the most important statement)</b></strong>, but if the logic behind
the proposal as written causes confusion it may make a less convincing
case.&nbsp; <strong><b>Good point.&nbsp; We assumed that was easy for someone
that is very familiar to pattern to digest the intent of the proposal.&nbsp;
Your conclusions are correct.&nbsp; We are assuming that the current procedures
we use to&nbsp;design the Master schedule are not changed.&nbsp; We&nbsp;adopt
the current&nbsp;FAI P schedule&nbsp;with the appropriate changes&nbsp;to suit
the Master class.&nbsp; This is&nbsp;the reason why we didn't try to discuss
other details.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></strong>For example, it says &quot;there is an
evident pile up f pilots in the Masters class&quot; but never clearly states
how flying the same sequence would change that.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><b>Correct.&nbsp; You
actually saw what happened in Tulsa this year.&nbsp; There were&nbsp;10 pilots
in Masters and you decided to divide the group in two and&nbsp;five flew
Masters and&nbsp;five flew FAI.&nbsp; This also happened already in other local
contest around KC.&nbsp; It happens at Fort Scott contest also.&nbsp; Pilots
will be more willing to do this&nbsp;we fly the&nbsp;same schedule.&nbsp; </b></strong>At
another point it says &quot;This will make judging of both classes very
accurate&quot; 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.&nbsp; The proposal intent is not to address the
differences in judging criteria between AMA and FAI.&nbsp; I&nbsp;believe that
it will become natural&nbsp;as we start to fly the&nbsp;same schedule and the
differences will go away with time.&nbsp;&nbsp;</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.&nbsp; <strong><b>We are assuming that the current procedure to
design the&nbsp;schedules is&nbsp;still in place.&nbsp; The committee will
check the current FAI P schedule and proposed a final one with the changes to
make it suitable for Masters.&nbsp; For example, P11 the only portion I will
change is the integrated half loop on the figure M.&nbsp; I will
suggest&nbsp;something like 2 of 4 or 1/2 roll on bottom to replace the
integrated 1/2 roll.&nbsp; I believe that all other maneuvers are
suitable&nbsp;for Masters.&nbsp; </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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><b>The committee will decide whatever is
appropriate.&nbsp; If they feel that the FAI descriptions are
appropiate&nbsp;we could use it as is.</b></strong>&nbsp; Oh, and how does AMA
deal with the fact that FAI changes schedules in odd years?<strong><b>&nbsp; We
will need to follow FAI schedule.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think that this&nbsp;is very
possible and should not be a problem.&nbsp; </b></strong></span></font><font

judge FAI and I never had the chance to judge FAI before the Nats.&nbsp; I was
trying to study the FAI schedule at the same time that I was trying to fly my
own contest.&nbsp; This is clearly an additional pressure on the
contestant.&nbsp; If this proposal pass it&nbsp;will make our life easier at the
local contest and when we judging at the Nats or any other contest.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Finally, the&nbsp;balance in local contest
