RCP# 2019-09

From: Brian J Muzek

NAR# 86418

Email: bjguzek@gmail.com

Type of Proposal: Regular

Brief Summary of the Proposed Change: Increase multi-round maximum for parachute duration.

State Logic and Intent of Change: As the NRC maximum is the target for people to shoot for, it should be such that an NRC maximum is difficult, but not impossible. However, for the 2018-19 season, 13 (out of 38) C divisioners and 5 (out of 12) D division teams achieved an NRC max in 1/4A-PD. In order to see more differentiation between fliers, the Multi-round and NRC maximum durations should be increased to make achieving one more difficult.

Effect, if any, on current competition and NAR records: Increased differentiation throughout the NRC season. No effect on NARAM or records.

Exact wording for the rule revision as it should appear (include section#):

31.3 Classes This event is divided into classes based on the permissible total impulse of the motor(s). The following classes of Parachute Duration are established:

(Current times are in black, suggested revised times are in red)

Motor Class Multi-round max NRC Max
1/8A 40 sec  
1/4A 60 sec     75 sec 180 sec     225 sec
1/2A 120 sec   180 sec 360 sec     540 sec
A 180 sec   240 sec 540 sec     720 sec
FAI A 300 sec  
B 240 sec  
C 300 sec
