<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm on the fence on Masters having to move to FAI.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The bad thing about advancing through the system quickly is once in Masters you've nowhere to go. I've seen guys move up nearly every year hit Masters and then quit, over and over and over again. I can think of a dozen. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some went to IMAC (Hardens, Bill and Herbie), some to SPA (Darrell Kampschror), some Jets (Lewis Patton) some to Heli's (Mann brothers) never to be heard from again.</DIV>

<DIV>Is there a perfect fix? Nope, never will be either.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv444447523>Dave,<BR><BR> With regard to the Aussie system, it is completely possible to remain in a lower class forever. If you are not improving but only maintaining a current skill level due to lack of time or other reasons, you will probably stagnate in a class.<BR>When I was there, expert and masters both flew the current F3A pattern. I gather that has changed somewhat now but 20 years ago it was true. I was in the expert class and due to work pressures, etc I did not have the time(and perhaps the ability) to gain promotional points to Masters(F3A), even with coaching from Peter Goldsmith(I still have a Lotus in my workshop). <BR>I believe that most of that expert group has since made it to Masters(F3A). Gavin Dark and Brian McFarlane come to mind but at that time we were definitely mired in Expert without any promotion points in sight. Would it be possible to game the system to stay in a class? Yes, I suppose it would be but all I saw
was a lot of eagerness to reach the next level. <BR><BR>I have no problem with Masters being a destination class. As I have stated a number of times, I consider it improper for Masters to be the <U>only</U> class that is not required to advance to the next level. I've tried to make the point that while I have flown in higher classes(usually not well) I am very happy and competitive in Advanced, at least for the time being.<BR>There are two ways to fix the advancement issue:<BR>
<OL>
<LI>Require Masters to advance to the F3A pattern</LI>
<LI>Offer all the other classes the opportunity to self-regulate their advancement as well. I've already suggested one method of doing this in an earlier post.<BR></LI></OL>Every argument I've heard for not requiring Masters to advance makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why the Masters pilots think these arguments apply only to them. <BR>Seems to me that the Masters pilots should get on board the second solution....<BR><BR>John<BR><BR>On 9/24/2010 4:43 PM, Dave wrote:
