Really?! What are you going to do about it?


First, realize that there are some people who will never operate a glider
safely. No amount of training will change them. No amount of persuasion
will make them find a hobby which is practiced at ground level. I suspect
all instructors have a short list of pilots who would be better off doing
something else.

Second, I make absolutely sure my signature never appears in their logbook
meaning I will never pass them on a flight review. Where possible, I would
attempt to persuade other instructors of that view. In fact, I find
instructors have VERY similar lists. It makes me wonder why insurance
companies haven't offered to buy those lists.

Beyond that, in a litigious society like the USA, there isn't much one can
do except try not to be present when the inevitable happens.
