The current topic seems to be are clubs getting approved for higher altitudes. I think there is evidence to show that there are. Andy states that to his knowledge no clubs have been denied. I see no reason doubt him on that. I understand that some guys here want details however I think the details need to come directly from the particular club officers.
“Need to know”. What makes this, “Need to know” information?
Can you cite one single reason that would make it detrimental for a club to let folks know what the altitude limit is at their field?
The AMA (and certain AMA reps in this thread) communicates openly that they are working with and for clubs to get altitude waivers. Why wouldn’t they also announce when they have successfully done so?
While your logic regarding the CA soaring club certainly seems sound, it doesn’t provide any evidence that they did, in fact, receive an exemption. For instance, there is a politician in Oregon, I don’t recall her name at the moment) that said she would not run for office if she didn’t receive Trump’s endorsement. She didn’t receive Trump’s endorsement, her opponent did, yet she is still running.
You can continue to repeat the fairly arbitrary statement that clubs are receiving exemptions, (I KNOW some have) but how many is really the important issue as it pertains to the livelihood and future of our hobby.
It sure would be nice if you would answer the questions posed to you, rather than answer with more questions and repeating the same vague statements.
