To be really fair, OLC should handicap for local towing fees and pilot adjusted gross income as doing well on OLC is mostly about flying a lot.

And to be really fair, there should also be a handicap factor for pilot IQ -- dumb people have a huge disadvantage.

But, alas, life isn't meant to be fair.

And don't forget available time to fly! So there should be a HUGE handicap against retired old farts!

Seriously, re original post: YGBSM. OLC is fun, and within a club or a homogeneous wx/terrain area, can be an interesting "contest", but it does not replace real contests. If you want a "fair" comparison, go to a contest.
