Mike.
Along time ago I proposed at a Narromine Pilots meeting, after nearly being killed by a pilot playing for sheep stations at the start, there was a better way to go. I don't think you flew those nats. One of the major problems apparent was too many aircraft converging on one point to start. Solution offered was to limit competitors to 2 per state in each class and each class comp. be flown from separate sites that had the ability to launch 14 sailplanes within a space established in their normal ops. That idea was accepted and I was elected to the sports committee which I attended on two occasions at my own cost with no GFA subsidy to put my case. It was a waste of my time as I couldn't overcome the egos of WW and RW. Noel.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] AAT tasking The AAT is seen as a way of mitigating the risks of mid airs in contests. Now let's see: Collision risk goes up as the SQUARE of the number of participants in any one contest. How do we reduce the total risk to find our champions?
