<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>As the FAI pilots in D7 will remember we had many
discussions last year regarding flying the “F” sequence at local
contests. I ended up proposing an interim solution that allowed “F”
to be flown at local contests at the CD’s discretion but would really not
score the “F” sequence and would not require any pilot to fly it. I
heard both positive and negative comments last year and over the winter regarding
this issue. Since this why you guys pay me the “big bucks” I now
have a proposal for the 2011 season!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-family:Arial'>Any FAI pilot who wants to may fly two rounds of F at
a local contest, with the CD’s permission. To simplify things for the CD
I think that this should be limited to the last two rounds on Sunday. If the CD
is willing to permit this, it must be mentioned as far in advance as possible.
(On the website and in the contest flyer at the minimum) I encourage CD’s
to offer the “F” sequence. If the CD does not want to fly the
“F” sequence, or no pilots ant to fly it, FAI will be flown as
usual with a best 4 out of 6 “P” sequences.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-family:Arial'>The “F” sequence scores will be entered
properly as an “F” sequence. If a pilot does not want to fly the
“F” sequence he may choose to fly the “P” sequence for
rounds 5 and 6 but his scores for those two rounds will be discarded in the
final contest tabulation. What I would like to see for those pilots who are
nervous about “F” is for them to fly the sequence and if a certain
maneuver poses a danger to the aircraft, the pilot should just fly through it
while telling the judges that he is bypassing that maneuver. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
