This one I do not understand. Before launch and after landing maybe, but if I
am alone in the cockpit, there is not much help.
The other stuff makes sense, it just is not done that way in other countries.

All of USAFA's gliders are two place and, as far as I know, they
always fill both seats, even at aerobatic contests where the extra
weight does nothing good for performance.

Yes, USAFA's program is unique and wonderful, IMHO.
