PLASTIC FAA AIRMANS CERTIFICATE by
Bob
There were some problems with glider pilots getting new plastic
certificates for a while. I got an email from Airman Services stating
they had corrected the problem. Sure nuff. No problems now. Get
your new plastic certificate via the web and have it in your wallet in
about 2 weeks

Increased Skin Cancer Rates in Pilots and Air Crews by
Bob
I made my 6 month check up visit to my skin doctor yesterday, and in
our conversations I mentioned I was a glider pilot and was trying my
best to not have any more malignancies.
I was pleased that nothing was found that needed to be cut off (for a
change), but still had the usual substantial number...

What are the hardware requirements for See You PNA? Would an X400

Nice soaring spread in May 2012 AOPA PILOT magazine by
Bob
The May 2012 AOPA PILOT magazine has a very nice 6 page spread on
soaring, including a 2 page-wide shot on pages 2 and 3 (the contents
pages). Short article, large photos from Omarama. This is good PR
for soaring with the rest of the flying community.

Tow pilot PIC by
Bob
Did I read, or did I imagine it, that here in the US when a glider is
being towed, the tow pilot is the Pilot In Command of that combination
and as such, is the final authority of that flight?
Are there any FARs to support my curiosity?
Thanks,
Bob

Glider Decal by
Bob
Does anyone have a source for the white glider decal that has been
seen for a while now on car windshields. It is a head on view of a 'T'
tailed glider which measures around 15" in width and a couple inches
high.
Thanks,

(USA) Handicapping... by
Bob
Just noticed the Region 6 North contest going on at the moment and
wondered how they work the handicaps for a combined 15M $ STD Class
contest. It appears as though all the 15M are handicaped at 1.0 and
the Std at something else. How is it done officially?

Number of active soaring pilots in the US? by
