The President’s Trophy will be awarded annually at BAC Fest to the BAC member that accumulated the most President’s Trophy (PT) points during the previous calendar year.

PT points will be awarded only to BAC members that fly to a PT Event.

PT Events shall be Sun-n-Fun, Oshkosh and Beech Party plus any BAC event that meets the following criteria:
  • The event must be sponsored by a BAC member.

  • The event must be posted on the BAC calendar fourteen (14) days prior to the event.

  • The event must be coordinated with the appropriate BAC Regional Director.

  • The event sponsor must compile PT points for the event and report them to the President.

  • A BAC member may sponsor an event in conjunction with an event sponsored by another organization (he can piggy back on another event) but the above criteria must be complied with.

PT points will be awarded based on the following criteria:
  • PT points will be awarded for nm flown between the airports at which a takeoff or landing is made enroute from the point of departure to the fly-in.

  • If the final landing is in the vicinity of the airport but not at the site of the fly-in (e.g. the pilot attends SNF or OSH but does not land at the site of the fly-in) the distance to the last airport enroute will be used.

  • The source for the nm between airports shall be AirNav.com for all airports in the U.S.

  • An alternate source approved by the President may be used for airports outside the U.S.

  • PT points will only be awarded to one person in each plane for each nm flown.

  • PT points will be awarded to the PIC, unless the PIC is not a BAC member.

  • If two or more BAC members travel in the same aircraft, PT points will be split in accordance with how they split PIC time but no duplication of time is allowed.

  • The route flown to the fly-in need not be the most direct route, i.e. side trips may be flown enroute to the fly-in. Delays enroute will be permitted for sight seeing, visits, etc. on the way to the fly-in. Discretion will be used to determine the amount of deviation and delay to be allowed.
  • Anyone who hosts a fly-in will receive 250 PT points for hosting the event. Limited to one event per year for points. But host as many as you like.
