The BGA instructor qualifications require candidates to have cross
country gliding experience. Is the Silver C satisfactory for all
instructor levels, or do some require more testing cross country
experience.

Instructors in the USA are not required to have any cross country
training or experience. Cross country experience seems unnecessary.
Why is this considered necessary in the BGA? Are USA instructor
requirements and instructors considered to be equal to BGA
instructors? Would a USA instructor easily qualify as a BGA
instructor. Or would they need additional training.

Thanks
