February 23, 200620 yr Hi all,Duenna mistakes. Temporary Solution Proposed.We are seeing many instances in the Western Hemisphere of pilots forgetting to disable the PAR check in the Duenna (myself included). The Duenna then signals an error and an invalid flight. Happily, it also continues checking for further errors and records them in the TEXT file.I suggest that we all come to a "gentleman's agreement" (pending further review by the Rules Committee) that the Duenna textfile records (in addition to the pictures) be accepted as evidence for a valid flight. But please, teams should carefully check the textfiles to be sure that the pilot did not make an inadvertent error that would have invalidated the flight even if the altitude restriction were correctly processed. (Please be careful here. No one wants the Race camaraderie to fall apart because someone suspects someone else of sharp practice.) This is a matter of Pilot's Honor. Can we agree to rely on our own character?Best,Mike --Mike MacKuen
