Hi John,

Let me reverse the idea he is it possible to propose to the IGC to adopt the US SSA rules? In that case we could fly worldwide under the same rules and all the issues would go away. Jacek, Pasco, WA


We can propose all we want, and many have. So far, no luck. Ken
Sorenson and John Good were unable to get the IGC to accept our start
procedure at Uvalde, resulting in a few starts where some competitors
got up in thermal wave and others didn't.
