Boy Bill,
<BR>What a fabulous report! Would I love to have been able to have been
in attendance at that event! Sounds like they may have a few things to
show us afterall.
<BR>Wouldn't it be great to see "what's a snap and what's not a snap"!
So much great information that applies so perfectly to our discipline.
<BR>Maybe there could be some way we could beg the powers that be to establish
another committee of qualified technical individuals to interact with the
IMAC people and see if we could produce something similar.
<BR>Great stuff Bill,
<BR>Georgie

<BR>FWIW, this past Saturday I attended an IMAC judging school, inasmuch
as I wanted to see what they were up to!<SPAN class="moz-smiley-s3"><SPAN>
;-) </SPAN></SPAN>It was a very professional presentation, taking
2 days. (I wasn't able to attend the Sunday practical at-the-field-flying
session because of other commitments) but I did attend the full-day classroom
session. An absolute highlight of the class was a G2 simulator, paired
up with PowerPoint. They were able to project on a large movie screen,
in-flight maneuvers, both with and without mistakes. These were pre-stored,
and they had a raft of them, illustrating just what common mistakes looked
like, just what "cheating" with ailerons looked like, etc.etc.
It was truly fabulous. If we had someone with the talent to make
this up, and put it on a computer, (remember, this was G2, not the latest)
such a presentation would quickly obsolete the tape that is in use today
at the NSRCA judging schools. They also issued a loose-leaf binder
with all the Aresti figures used by FAI, told how to compose the complete
figures from components in the book, how to calculate K-Factors--indeed
everything needed. Handouts were given out for different subjects,
etc. and I couldn't help but notice that, of the 35 people
in attendance, some said they hadn't yet entered their first contest, (but
intended to) and quite a few were entry-level pilots.
<BR>I realize that you asked for the time, and I've just told you
how to build a watch, but I'd like everyone to digest this and see if we
can't come up with something parallel.
