More restrictions for "experimental"

FAA Inspector at the FSDO Office in Atlanta, Georgia says Program
Letter needs to say "Proficiency and practice". With such words, you
are free and clear to soar when you like. It's still good to state
specific meets and contests but there is no intent to stop people
flying for enjoyment. So says Atlanta.
Perhaps Scottsdale FSDO is on testosterone toot.

It appears that the local FSDO is taking the position that NO flight
may be made in a glider with an experimental (racing and exhibition)
certificate, even within 300 miles of home base, unless the specific
date of the flight is notified to the FSDO. *That notification may
either be in the program letter by including every date on which a
flight may be made, or by notifying the FSDO prior to each flight by
FAX or email.
