PTS accuracy landing, whats that. In UK all landings are supposed to be
accurate.

Here...here! Although having said that, my parking isn't always quite as
elegant as it should be, but then my excuse is that I'm a novice pilot with
only a mere 130+ hours.

Talking of international differences, I was talking to a German glider pilot
recently and we were discussing aerotows. When I suggested that we (glider
pilots in the UK) release and climb left, he said 'oh, in Germany its the
other way around, we release and climb right!' I'm glad I found this out
early it might have saved me from a nasty accident in the future.

The curious thing about all of this is I would have thought that all FAI
members would have subscribed to the same standards but it seems not so.
