Maybe we as a community of pilots could scope " personal attack " with careful study. And then see how we do about some common understanding about what a "personal attack" is or is not. Perhaps pilots will put their best study hat on for some substantial amount of time and sincer...

Resolution to Right

Resolution to Right ======================== United resolution of HG challenges will be keyed when HG community -----------------one-by-one------------ becomes proud of being a HG pilot; a core test of such pride will be when the HG community en masse rights the wrong done to fellow hang glider pilo...

How has USHPA been failing hang gliding?

How has USHPA been failing hang gliding? Maybe the answer is really with an answer of "No ways; she has not been failing hang gliding in any way." Maybe the answer will be: "Some minor ways, but the whole flow is acceptable." Maybe the answer will turn out to be: "Some sign...

Equity of activity would not have a HG citizen join a private corporation in order to glide from dirt to sand in a HG on public beach-park land. Being a citizen should be enough. World, please distinguish between a BUSINESS operating on public lands from the activity of citizens just individually re...

Since so much information is not on the table (much is behind the scenes), it is difficult to know just what is going on. Speculation provides some things to consider. Have deals been cut that keep hang gliding from gaining equitable treatment on public lands compared to other citizen recreation act...

When considering the topic's lifted quote, one might wonder how the sentence might be tweaked. Have your hand at tweak efforts. Example of a tweaking effort: "The chapter will monitor or administer the site to assure that HGP-rated pilots fly the site." Then pilots with HGP rating would be...

Hi OP, Sure. To your question. No problem, OP. Thanks. I'll not post further on this topic unless someone shows interest in the topic. Fair enough. I was guessing someone might want to explore the topic; if not, then there is no need for further posts in this topic thread. Best of lift to you and yo...

TG, As noted, time will tell. You finally revealed that you had an off-topic motive that you just fulfilled. You stayed three times pushing off-topic to serve your chosen motive.

TG, your strawman premise was NOT the premise of the topic thread. Sorry. Differently, one sentence is being examined for its possible un-American fit. Your strawman premise is another topic.

Spirit of the clause just seems un-American

For a "chapter" club, USHPA requires for sites involved: "The chapter will monitor or administer the site to assure that only USHPA member pilots fly the site." The spirit of such text just seems to me to be un-American. FAA does not privatize the airspace; all citizens have a ri...
