Default RE: What safety related rules does your club have that are really good?

How 'bout dumb rules ?

I don't understand the Jetero rule #11 :
11. The maximum number of fliers of fixed wing aircraft, at one time, is FIVE (5)

There may be a good reason for it at that location, but this rule is really common throughout AMA.

I might have understood the need for the rule twenty years ago, but we got past the wide band radio days almost ten years ago (when the last wide band radios were supposed to have been taken out of service). There is no technical reason for this rule, so it must be based on some other criteria - even with our current limited radio technology, that technology is more than sufficient to allow all 50 channels to be in use at one time (which was the reason we adopted narrow band standards in the first place).

What's the reason Jetero limits the number of fixed wing operators to 5, and do you not have any heli flyers or if you do are they not counted ?

I'm asking a question here Horrace, not trying to start an argument.
