It is interesting, however, to note that, while there wasn't "time" to get
new schedules together for classes other than Masters, there still existed
enough "time" to put that one together. (And, of course, being much more
involved, it would consume more "time.") The intentions of those folks
in charge of the asylum<G> wouldn't have been nearly as suspect, if
the only new sequence to be submitted was, say, Advanced or Sportsman. I
tend toward believing that, regardless of the survey results, there is a
cadre of folks that believe the classes other than FAI and Masters just don't
warrant the attention required.<br>
And, please believe me, this is not any kind of a slam at Ron, but you note
that his idea of the "Old Geezers Class" mentions only Masters. BTW: Ron
may have been joking, but I feel that his idea has more than a little merit.<br>
Perhaps the other classes need an advocate specific to them? Or an ombudsman
whose efforts would encompass everyone except the top classes?<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 agenda, which somehow was thrown
into disarray by the everyday hum-drum of life. <br>

Thanks much. I just knew that I wasn't mistaken about something that was
so dear to my heart.<G> <br>
As far as implementation, would it not have been possible to submit the other
class(es) proposed schedules just as was done with Masters? In other words,
right alongside Masters for consideration by AMA? If this was, in fact possible,
does anybody have any idea why it wasn't done?

<pre wrap="">Bill,
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.

<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.
