In my personal opinion, Any feedback that would inform the pilot the condition of his battery, engine temp or fuel level would be permissible. However, any feedback that would inform the transmitter of altitude, attitude, yaw or air speed where the transmitter could, on it's on, make corrections without input from the pilot would be unallowable.

So where do we draw the line? Telemetry feedback of any kind should NOT be allowed. By allowing <u>some</u> functions of telemetry, it could open the door to other uses and it would become hard to police.

We want our pattern meets to be fun and competitive. We don't need to start having mandatory inspections of our aircraft at each contest just to insure that competitors aren't cheating by using unauthorized flight enhancement equipment.

What are the opinions of other Contest Directors?
