Mark, Tim and all,
It's 9am, getting my s__t together this morning to fly up to Orlando for the FAST National BoD meeting, will bring up the issue of our flight suit/parachute policy with the other signatories just to hear how they all approach such gear (remember, if you were active then we had an even more extensive formation training personal equipment policy when this was the YPA). It's just fact finding, and won't change the policy as it is up to the new Regional-National BoD of the RPA to decide, as it should be, but it's always good to look outside the window and may help influence a recommendation to them.
In the mean time, if you look at "Safety Bulletins" under "Communications" on our assocaition web, there is some info on nomex and a new fire retardent suit someone sent in, from discussions off the list. Not a recommendation, the web is an informational hub, but it may help in someones personal decision when obtaining gear for their use. If the author of that information could email me off list, would like to get some further info.

Subject: RE: Deep breaths everybody....
Tim,
The flight suit issue is a volatile one for sure.
I personally think the discussion is very useful. The first time
around,
very little got accomplished other than the expression of personal
opinions,
and there was nothing wrong with that (IMHO).
This time around, there are indeed some ha rd core expressions of
opinion
(again), but also movement towards actually doing something about the
rule.
That is not only new, it is indeed useful.
Anytime people feel very strongly about ANYTHING, there will always be
emotion included in the discussion. Most people who own and fly
airplanes
seem to me to be rather emotional about their feelings. I know I am.
That
said, because something turns into a "hot topic" does not mean it
should not
be discussed... to me it means just the opposite. Better to let it out
in
the open rather than to have it simmer under the surface.
The reason everybody needs to take "Deep Breaths" today is because it
did
not get resolved last time. It's a safe bet that if it gets shelved
again
now... it is going to come up once again in the future.
