SSA Badge Approval
I realize that a new badge person is either in training or just been
trained. Has anyone received an approval lately? I have had a badge submission in for over two months and heard nothing. The SSA staff assures me that he should be getting to in any time now. I am wondering if anyone else has better info. Lane XF |

He turned around a bunch of altitude claims from our wave camp in a very timely fashion. -Evan Ludeman / T8 |

Lane XF Things were slow this summer but seem to have picked back up. I'd email the "badge dude" and see if he has your stuff. He was really responsive to an email I sent him earlier this fall. |

Rollin e-mailed me without my asking, to let me know he'd received my
application, CD and calibration for Diamond Distance from SSA Headquarters. A week later he e-mailed again, to let me know he'd approved my claim. He's seems like a good guy. I get the impression he’s a little overwhelmed at the moment. An e-mail to him would be appropriate. -John On Nov 23, 5:47 pm, lanebush wrote: I realize that a new badge person is either in training or just been trained. Has anyone received an approval lately?

Lane XF I suspect that during the transition some things got lost. I submitted two applications this summer, one in June and one in September. I never heard anything on the earlier one, so I emailed Rollin. He said he never received it, so I resubmitted. The latter application he handled very quickly and emailed me to let me know he had processed and approved it. |

All,
Things are somewhat backed up still. Right after Judy left, and before Rollin took over, Cindy Brickner was doing a lot of the badge/record work. She told me that there was a three month backlog she was working through, in addition to training Rollin, running a business, and doing some other SSA work. Had a friend finish up a Silver Badge that took about three weeks. I've submitted a record flight in early October, but Cindy hasn't been able to get to it yet, nor has it been forwarded to Rollin. This all needs a bit more time to settle out. Don't believe things are happening in chronological order right now Steve |

I agree, Steve. Probably the best thing one can do now is to fly a
badge flight such that there are minimal interpretation difficulties. If it's easy to verify as per FAI Sporting Code, it'll get approved fast. If there are nuances involved, it'll take longer. -John On Nov 27, 9:48 pm, 20flyer wrote: This all needs a bit more time to settle out.

Just an affidavit and a witness that I was observed in the air for over five hours. Lane XF |
