Class A airspace

Forget Class A, how about the guy that infringes on restricted airspace
and STILL submits the flight on OLC in order to win a major contest!!
Pressure differences etc can be explained but ploughing through
restricted airspace in this time of GPS is not excusable.
What major contest? If you mean an SSA sanctioned contest, that would
be an automatic 0 points for the day, and an additional 100 point
penalty. If you mean something like the Gerlach Dash, some restricted
areas have listed max altitudes, some have schedules listed on the
sectionals and it is perfectly legal to enter them during inactive
hours, and some can be readily entered with a simple radio call,
particularly on weekends...
