The basis for free flights ease of access is through responsible self-regulation by organizations like USHPA, local clubs that work to keep LZs and launches open and peer review and discussion of our personal flying style and choices. With that in mind I feel it is important that we discuss our mistakes and incidences maturely with one another so that we can learn and grow as a community as well as share our knowledge with others so they won't have to make the same mistakes. Ideally, I would like this tool to be used as a self-reporting option for all league pilots without having to ask people to submit items. Basically an incident that is worth reporting is anything that went wrong that could be handled better in the future regardless of the final outcome.

On occasion I will ask pilots to submit reports so that I know we are on the same page and that pilots have acknowledged poor decisions. As the league operator, I spend a great deal of time in the air and on the ground worrying about the safety of all pilots involved. I do my best to make conservative decisions for the league but at the end of the day we are out there pushing our boundaries and sometimes flying in difficult air. It is my hope that this tool will raise safety and awareness for all pilots in the league and serve as a learning tool. Finally I'm very thankful that I fly with such responsible and talented pilots that in the few years running the league there have been virtually no incidents worth discussing. Thanks guys, keep it up!
