When you are through with the eggnog and ready to get back in the cockpit you might like to try out the IAC KNOWN SEQUENCES for 2019. Final approval by the IAC Executive Committee is expected soon after the holidays but these sequences are the latest proposals by the Known Sequence Committee and I expect they will be approved without changes.
Below is the Sportsman Known. The only change from the original proposal was to change figure 8 from a reverse wedge to a forward wedge.
2019 Proposed Sportsman Known
Below is the Intermediate Known. The snap on a 45-degree up line was removed and an avalanche was added. There was some discussion about removing snap rolls from the Intermediate sequences but the Known Sequence Committee rejected that and opted to keep snaps in Intermediate.
2019 Proposed Intermediate Known
Rule proposal 29-2019 was approved by the Board so K-values for all categories are increased. This means that the free programs you may have used last year may need to be revised and signed off by a judge again. This might be a good time to develop a free sequence if you didn't have one or re-design your old free sequence.
2019 K Value Changes
I flew the Intermediate Known sequence a few times this morning and was surprised to find that it is an altitude GAINER! I like it!
I will be tracking RV pilots again in 2019 and will be publishing contest results here on VAF. You need to fly at least two contests in 2019 to qualify for a place in the standings.
Here's wishing you a very happy holiday season. I hope Santa brings you all the RV related goodies you hope for. Merry Christmas!
