Hard Deck

I invite you to apply hard deck logic to this flight. John's been really clear about this... read it again Andy. His intent isn't to mess with ridge & mountain flying in any way. Away from the airport, away from the ridge, he's proposing a 500' stairstep with a 500 agl minimum. In the big valley at Mifflin (elevation 800-ish) that's a 1500 msl hard deck. Can you thermal safely out of the Mifflin valley from 1500msl on a nice easy day? Certainly. John's proposal is to give you an administrative landout **before** you become dangerous to yourself.. best, Evan Ludeman / T8
