What would be the consensus for the minimum number of flights to get a ground launch sign off for an experienced glider pilot? How many cable breaks and at what altitude? Of course it would take more for some and less for others, but I would think at least 15 launches with 5 cable breaks at various heights?

It's a variable.
About like the minimum number of pilot meetings before introducing a gopher snake.
Sorry, perhaps only Boggs, Kempton and a few others understand.
