Response from the waiver request - Waiver is granted. It was the decision of the Rules Committee that for 2016 National contests, any Flarm use shall be in stealth mode


Finally, something makes sense. So, Nephi has a waiver to make flarm mandatory. The RC lets nephi know that it is recommending a new rule that stealth will be mandatory for all nationals. Nothing special for Nephi, and sensible of RC to warn Nephi.

Now we can go on with the regular process. RC will release minutes and proposed rules. Pilots can comment to RC and their regional directors. SSA BOD will or not approve the rules.

And contests that don't like new rules can ask for waivers of those rules, especially contests that put in bids before the rules were changed.
