flying on tow is as close to another airplane as some people get..

This is just my idea, but I think it is a good one. I think during the
instruction before solo, a studnet should have to experience flying close
to
another plane. I'm at a quiet gliderport and all through my instruction I
cleared before release and cleared turns, but I didn't know what I was
looking for. I didn't know how close another plane has to be before it's
dangerous. After I got my license I had a lot of incidents pop up. I was
clearing turns, but I wasn't looking in the rights spots all the time.
This
is just my idea but in busy airports I suppose this isn't an issue. Now I
understand it might be hard to get another pilot to fly next to you as a
student if he is having a wonderful climb, so I would think the student
would pay fot the other pilots rental and launch fee. I think the cost
would
be worth the experience since it would give the instructor plenty to talk
about and be able to show good examples. It should all work in one flight
I
would think. Anyone agree?
