The only thing you can be absolutely certain he DOESN'T know is
the US CFR's. Give him a FAR/AIM. Airspace is also a bit hard to figure for new pilots. Is G at 1500 or 1200 where not marked in the US? What do the "fences" mean separating G from E airspace in mountainous terrain? http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~mjboyd/cfi/glider/gliderfars lists the glider specific CFR's/FAR's (whatever you want to call them, they're still from "the Man"). There are of course a lot of more general regs, but I put that together for transitioning US power pilots. Mark P.S. I personally would love to go soaring in the U.K., but I can't seem to quite get the language. I do know that they really like Bond movies (AKA Roger Moore) and don't like bugs. I picked at least this up. But when I mention I'm getting a group of friends to come over for a good Rogering and would they like to come, or that there's a lot of buggery in my garage, I get funny looks from my English co-workers. Is there some nuance I'm missing? And "bloody good chips"? They looked like freedom fries to me, and didn't even have any ketchup. I'm baffled... Apparently one shouldn't pat a gal on the fanny (extremely rude), and there's some famous bus driver named "Lorry" and it isn't an elevator but a lift. Can you imagine? If I said I was "getting a lift from my friend" it wouldn't make sense and an English chap (with burned lips?) would suggest I take a "Lorry." In the U.K., is Chapstick only for guys? Well, at least they're smart enough to use the metric system so it makes their gliders go faster... |

How about http://www.powergenitalia, of course. This is a legit web site - not a joke. Legitimate company and website, but totally unrelated to the English company of the same name. -- Bruce |
