THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF FIRC -
Question: Why Should an airplane CFI attend a “glider� related
Revalidation Clinic?

Answer: You will learn a new slant on traditional information from
another highly informed perspective. For example:

Aeronautical Decision Making – What are the options to consider when
faced with limited resources and it all comes down to the fundamentals
of flight?

Off Field Landings – Glider pilots are experts at off-airport landings
– Learn more that you have ever been taught about how to make good off-
field landing decisions and execute an uneventful non-airport landing.
You will hear things you have never heard as an airplane CFI.

Teaching Landings – How do you teach students to get the pattern and
landing right every time with no possibility of a go-around or a
pattern re-boot. Glider pilots do it for their entire career.

Collision Avoidance – Enhanced techniques when flying what is
practically a “stealth� aircraft - A composite glider doesn’t show up
on radar and is very difficult to see. Learn how to enhance see-and-be-
seen techniques to augment technology solutions.

New information â—� New perspective â—� New ideas
(You will have fun avoiding the same old re-hashed
information you have sat through for years at
re-validation clinics)
