    Dave,<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;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>
                        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&nbsp; 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>
                      </span></font><font color="#3333ff"><span
                        style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">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.</span></font><br>
                    <br>
                    This would at least make advancement requirements
                    consistent for all
                    participants and is very easy to enforce.<br>

                        makes no sense. 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>
                        &gt;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.
