[RocketsNW] Launch Waivers

[Jeff Moore]

Hi Jack,

I can't speak to the specifics of the Sheridan waiver never having seen it 
before.  The altitudes listed on the directions pages on the OROC site 
predate my assuming webmaster duties - I haven't edited those pages since I 
became web dude.

IIIRC, TRA and NAR require a buffer for the waiver altitudes.  18.5K ft is 
probably pushing that (the acutal waiver is for 25K ft MSL with the 
elevation on site being 4500 ft that leaves 20.5K ft ).  I do know that over 
the years since I've been a member of OROC the waiver has been simplified. 
It used to be slightly higher for scheduled launches and a little lower for 
the non-scheduled weekends (the OROC waiver is good every weekend).  The 
last waiver only grants one set of altitudes (the regular waiver altitude 
and the window altitude).

As one of the few fliers that can actually push that altitude, I can 
understand your need to have this clear.  I believe that OROC requires you 
to seek the higher window if you are going to come very close to the 
standard waiver altitiude.

Perhaps one of the OROC BoD's will clarify  --  I can make any changes to 
the site that they request.  :-)

At the OROC site, in the Directions section, the page has the Waiver at 
Brothers listed to be 20,000 AGL and Sheridan to be 4,500 AGL.? However, in 
the Calendar section, the Waiver at Brothers is listed to be 18,500 AGL and 
Sheridan to be 5,000 AGL.? Which numbers are the correct ones?? Thanks!

Jack
