[NSRCA-dist8] Judging seminar

[Arthur F. Kelly]

Pat,

I agree with Jim. It would be useful to go through all the schedules to see what questions develop. I say this with the newest pilots in mind. These are the ones we want to draw into the pattern discipline. My reason for suggesting this is from listening to the new pilots in last year's contest in Medford. There was grumbling about inconsistent enforcement of the box and when they asked for suggestions, the responses were very general. We can all help build interest in pattern by being very attentive to the impression created on those who may be experiencing pattern for the first time. That's where the sale is made (or broken.)

We will have a flight simulator at the seminar to help better visualize what proper geometry is to look like. Take a look at the agenda and you will see we are flying Friday afternoon and Sunday as well. I would think we should be done Sunday by noon to hit the field.
