Board Meeting Agenda

Meeting: February 25, 2008

Time: 7:00 PM

Current Items for Review:

Sawyer Award Rule Change proposal, by Ramy Yanetz: (Choice of format)

• Adobe Reader: SawyerUpdate011808.pdf
• Modifications to Pilot factor discussed: " ...perhaps a pilot factor of 0.7 or thereabouts for 'ultra-experienced' pilots with 1000km would make it tougher without eliminating them altogether - It would all but eliminate me too (Ramy)!! I'll leave that factor up to you to recommend. " Why a pilot factor? It is like a 'handicap'. The Sawyer Award was created to encourage new pilots to fly Cross Country and have the opportunity to win. A factor of 0.7 for ultra experienced pilots would make it harder for them to win.

Responsibilities of Officers and Committees - review responsibilities and update from list, then post to PASCO Information Page. PASCO-Officers-and-Committees-Jan-2008.pdf (22 KB)
