Safety against commercial pressure?
I replied in the other thread.
Life is risk.
I can't speak for other pilots or sites, but as I mentioned before, rides are 95% trying to give a great first impression. Poor weather does not do that.
Some pilots have to prove, "they are ACE of the base" and may do a full aerobatic routine to "Grandma". Not good. I have seen news peeps that did a ride and came back green......again, not good.
We, and a lot of other sites I know of, would rather turn someone away unhappy than give a "sporty ride".
Granted, I fly at a club now, but the same scale was used in the previous commercial operation.
There may be some that do anything for a dollar, they usually don't last.
Neither of my posts in this thread should be taken as a comment in the other thread. I don't know the pilot, operation, glider or weather.
I am only commenting on what some do/may do when giving rides.
