And if we needed to be told what to think it would be nice if people
posting advertisements to this newsgroup did so more clearly pointing
out they work for Gliding International. Starting with use of the
first person, "in the next issue of Gliding International we
report...", presumably those involved with the magazine understand
that much English.

GLIDER PILOT LICENSING

The European Aviation Safety Authority *(EASA) recently released a 650
page report on pilot licensing and instructing standards. *A large
portion of the report relates to glider pilot licensing.

As *27 gliding nations in Europe will be required to adopt their
proposals, the adoption is very likely to have a world wide effect in
standardising *Glider Pilot licensing, something that is long overdue
as pilot recognition between nations is a very fragmented affair.

“Gliding International” has just completed a research paper on the
EASA proposals and their recommendation for standardising instructor
ratings and training. They are reporting on the issues in depth in
their next issue.

Those concerned about instructing standards/licensing/first solo ages
and gliding safety should make a point of reading their research
paper.
