Great event today! Nice weather, soaring conditions, some new pilots, and no major 'incidents'. Thanks for all the help hauling the equipment up afterwards and packing the Jeep.
We did have some high launches in the early rounds, so make sure the CAMS and Altis parameters are correct for future events. This will really hurt (lower) your scores in the F5J event in 2-weeks. The results were really tight at the top with a total separation of 31.2 points between 1st and 4th. Congratulations Brad, Mike, and Charlie. Way to go Myra on a solid finish! 1 Wolfe, Lee 5206.1 2 Juntunen, Brad 5198.4 3 Roseberry, Mike 5191.7 4 Morris, Charlie 5174.9 5 Todd, Scott 4838.5 6 Morris, Myra 4431.4 7 Irwin, John 3941.1 8 Bates, Jeff 3784.2 9 Mahoney, Matt 3595.1 10 Glithero, Iain 3437.4 11 Webb, John 3285.9 12 Bunger, Jerry 2825.4 13 Wilson, Bill 2020.1 |

Since we'll have pre-printed scorecards, matrix badges, and pilot name sound files, registration will close at 9PM each Friday. Try not to wait until the last minute if possible.

I'll leave this here for the Phoenix ALES/F3K/F5J pilots to read. Let's try not to slam this thread with an FAA discussion, since there are dedicated threads for that. This is FYI only:
Q: Am I permitted to fly above 400 feet? What if I had to check a box saying otherwise on the federal registration website? A: Yes. AMA members who abide by the AMA Safety Code, which permits flights above 400 feet under appropriate circumstances, and are protected by the Special Rule for Model Aircraft under the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act. Checking the box on the federal registration webpage signifies an understanding of the 400 foot guideline. This is an important safety principle that all UAS operators need to be aware of, and is the same guideline established in AC 91-57 published in 1981. However, the placement of this guideline on the FAA website is intended as an educational piece and more specifically intended for those operating outside of AMA’s safey program. We have been in discussions with the FAA about this point and the agency has indicted that it will be updating its website in the next week to make clear that this altitude guideline is not intended to supplant the guidance and safety procedures established in AMA’s safety program.
