If you don't want to be forced to move to FAI, then you must accept
that there are those in other classes who do not wish to advance to
the next class either. Peer pressure and the challenge of learning
more complex maneuvers and doing better at a higher level are
expected to work for Sportsman through Advanced but not for Masters?
<br>
<br>
While F3A maneuvers are controlled by the FAI, there is nothing
international about doing a loop with an integrated 8 point. It is,
however, a challenge to do well. Why are so many of the Masters
flyers disinterested in new challenges, new maneuvers, new
competition? These are the things that drove them to excel in the
lower classes and in Masters and then it all stops?<br>
<br>
I would think that winning the NATS in any class would lead one to
look around and say "where's the next hill to climb?"<br>
<br>
I firmly believe there needs to be some changes made in the
advancement process. It should be the same across the board for all
classes including Masters.<br>
In the past I have suggested abolishing the current advancement
rules and replacing it with the following:<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff">A competitor will select the class to be flown
during the calendar year. This selected class may be any higher
class or the next lower class than that flown in the previous
calendar year. The set of classes referred to is 401-404 and 406.</font><br>
<br>
This would at least make advancement requirements consistent for all
participants and is very easy to enforce.<br>

<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
has a substantial number of pilots that do not aspire to
international competition. Many Masters pilots have
expressed the opinion that if they were required to fly a
more difficult schedule, or fly multiple schedules, they
would drop out of the event. So why force them into a
class that contains elements they clearly don’t want, and
for which they have virtually no input or control? How
does chasing people out of the event benefit pattern in

Every other country has resolved the issue of having their
own internal classes and then finally advancing their best
pilots to F3A. Just because the maneuvers are selected by
an international committee on which we are represented is
not a reason to preclude F3A from an advancement process.
We only have Turnaround pattern in this country because
the FAI led the way and we decided to follow rather than
go the way of the dodo.<br>
>From my point of view, ALL the lower classes and
maneuvers are selected by someone else(the sequence
committee). For F3A that committe is international. So
what?<br>
