So in conclusion, I was hoping the list members could field a couple of
questions, First, if a pilot were to post an ocasional short flight,
say 2 to 3 hundred miles about once a week, is he gonna get laughed at?


KM,

I am one of those guys that posts everything over 50 km. I have never had
any negative feedback. I will never be the top point earning pilot;
however, the few point I earn do become part of the Seattle Glider Council
totals.

The SSA-OLC does indeed foster cross-country soaring and the SSA is correct
in not awarding points for flights that violate FAA regulations. Though my
flights are not spectacular the SSA-OLC does also provide me a venue for a
little "show-and-tell." It is a great asset to the sport of soaring. I
really don't understand why a person would have a problem with the SSA
excluding flights that violate FARs. This whole thread seems to be about a
few rebels who think they are above the law and should be rewarded for it.

Respectfully,
