2019 SSA Contest Rules Pilot Opinion Poll Now Open
Or skip that last good field or airport to try and cross the finish for that 250 pt incentive...
There are going to be pros and cons to every situation. I think we should expect competition directors to set a fair and reasonable task based on current weather and from that point it should be up to the pilot in command to make their decision from that point on. Soaring is not the safest sport out there but is comparable to motorcycles. If you respect it, your safety and that of those involved goes up significantly compared to the guy flying by at 120 mph without a helmet. The majority of pilots again voted to begin implementing FAI rules at US Nationals and I don’t see any increased risk having flown both versions.
