<span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Due to safety concerns the 2021 F3A World Championships was cancelled. The next F3A WC will be held in Australia in 2023 and Richard Hansen, AMA President, has
asked the F3A Team Selection Committee members to determine the best approach to determine our team. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We could either redesignate the existing 2021 team to be the 2023 team or hold a new
team selection to select new pilots. If we hold new team selections this means the team selected in 2020 will not have been given the opportunity to complete. However, If we designate the 2021 team to compete in 2023, this means we will not hold F3A team selections
for four years and consequently deprive other competitors the opportunity of vying for the team. </span></p>

<span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">In the spirit of ensuring we have the best and most competitive team possible; I agree with Richard in holding new team selections for the 2023 F3A Team USA.
This will allow all interested pilots to compete for the team, those that have been waiting for their opportunity in the next selection process as well as those existing team members wishing to renew their commitment.</span></p>
