New Glider Flight Instructors to be Mentored at the SSA Convention.

"How to Become a CFIG" will be the theme of the Soaring Safety
Foundation (SSF) booth at the SSA Convention.
[edit]
Earning
your flight instructor certificate is challenging, yet the path is
made
clear by the Flight Instructor Handbook, the FAA PTS, Bob Wander's
"CFIG Made Easy" book, the nationwide SSF Flight Instructor Clinics,
along with information in "Soaring" magazine and on the SSF website
www.soaringsafety.org

This is a very good thing. I would add that completing your CFI
training at a site that has a good track record of completed
certifications would also be a useful measure.

Also someone must be available to administer the check ride. In some
parts of the USA, that may be difficult.
