Default End of Season Sunset Warning for SSA-OLC Participants

It's called the OnLine Contest, not "What-I-did forum"


Well put, Eric. I like the alternative name -- it captures the essence
better. I'd only tweak the pronoun slightly -- plural, perhaps...

Those are the two uses of the same resource, and the emphasis is a question
of individual preferences. Personally, I know many pilots who's biggest (if
not only) interest in OLC is precisely as in "What-I-did" forum (or, rather,
what others did). On the other hand, I can think of only two or three who
actually *compete* there -- meaning they plan their flights for OLC, watch
their placing closely, etc.

I am a bit disturbed at the implication that people who ... ... break FARs
... are people we should be learning from.


Good! Because that means you are willing and able to make your own free,
conscious and informed choice of what to learn from whom and why. (Note how
I said "learn from their [trace] analysis", and not "from them". There is
difference.)
