<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I may be the only one thinking this but, you
know, it c</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>ould be taken as a bit of an insult
to assume that a person flying in a lower class is not good enough to judge a
higher class such as FAI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a direct correlation between the class
you fly and how good a judge you are or what you are capable of
judging.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is definitely an assumption but are there
any collected data to back up the current conclusion.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess you could reasonably assume that there is
a relationship between the class you are flying and how long you have been in
pattern, and that the "time in pattern" is directly related to how much you
will know and or have accumulated about judging and thus how good a judge you
might be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do know that there is a real reluctance to
judge FAI by Masters pilots but I don't know if that is because of the degree
of difficulty or the fear of payback?</FONT></DIV>
