I just received an official AMA briefing on the new Turbine Rules passed by the EC last November. The briefing was conducted by Ilona Maine and Carl Maroney of the AMA Special Services. There was also representation from the Insurance Underwriter, but unfortunately I forgot the gentleman's name.

The new rules were well presented and reasonably explained. I have to say IMHO, in their totality they are very good. They seem to be supported by the EVP, Special Services, Insurance and at least 2 VPs that were there (Charlie Bauer and Rich Hanson). Many in attendance agreed that these rules will increase safety and provide for an increased level of "risk management".

A few questions were asked and answered, and then a questionnaire was passed out as additional information is being collected for the February EC meeting.

I offer my congratulations to the TRC on a job well done and I thank them for their effort.
