certainly understand how we get stuck in a class. I've been in Intermediate way
too long. For me, its not so much age as it is lack of practice. Work and family
eat most of my time up, and I choose to split the available flying time between
instructing, pattern and a bit of sport flying. My choice of course, no
excuse.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<BR>This one's not even tough to figure out! The administrative people
were all coming from the ranks of the Master's class at the time the
survey was done and didn't want to be bothered with us peons. They were
only interested in fixing what they specifically were affected by and
the rest of us could be accomodated at a time convenient to their

The 2002 survey and the implementation of its results fell on my shoulders. Masters(404) had several schedules designed and available that were shown for your vote. It was expected that 404 would change every three years, as per the 1999 survey.
I personally asked the question "Should we also change 401-402 on a three year basis?" You all voted yes. Now we have to come up with a way to do that.
As Ron states, the Annex system is the way we can do it.
Regards,
Eric.
P.S. We posted all the results in several places, but I will send you a copy of the word file. - E.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">I noted that only the AMA Masters class seem to be applying for a new
schedule.
One of the reasons for change was stated as being that a majority of
the membership voted for change.
The same vote tabulation stated that the other classes also wished to
see a schedule change.
Is this currently being worked on?

Proposals for changes to the current 401 - 403 maneuver schedules were
not submitted to the AMA by NSRCA. However, IF the NSRCA Annex proposal
passes, we will have the option of changes to all maneuver schedules as
frequently as annually.
I don't remember that a majority 'voted' for changes to schedules other
than the Master class. Even so, any AMA member can submit a change
proposal. I have submitted several as an individual over the years.
One was for the takeoff direction being the pilot's option. I
submitted it three times before it finally passed on the third try, but
it did pass. So, individual proposals do get through. People need to
make proposals if they see the need for change and not rely on someone
doing it for them.
