Turbine pilots have a "Jet Waiver" that takes them months to prove they are capible of hadling a turbine. Why can't we do the same thing ... a "3D Waiver"? We would have to prove to the AMA that we are able to perform "ground touchs" in a controled manner then we would be given "permission" to do so as a trained "3D Pilot".

Just because a jet pilot has a waiver does not mean he is less likely to have a major mishap but he knows the proper protocal to follow and is trained to do so. Same could be said for a 3D pilot with a "Ground Touch Waiver".

Just food for thought.

Why don't you just go fly somewhere that is not a AMA field?

For $2000 dollars a year my club in Colorado rents 2 achers from a farmer, Go get twenty guys together and get your own field and fly however you like. I'm sure in Texas that should not be so hard, are local USP lets a bunch of guys fly behind there buildings on Open space land.
