Rolf,


So about 5 years ago my Club's flight chair said that flying AGL was
wrong, dangerous and (if I am not mistaken) illegal. *


The "legal" issue is a slippery slope. *Newbies to the sport (and I
still consider myself one) may take everything their instructor says
as the bible. *Seems like learning and adhering to the FARs is a
critical part of soaring. *If we're taught to break certain FARs from
the get go, what is the lesson there?

That maybe you have the wrong instructor.
