Children in gliders?
Vaughn Simon wrote:
Parachute? What parachute? Chutes are neither required nor common in two seat gliders in the USA. They are fairly common in single seat gliders, but in non-aero flights in airplanes they are virtually unheard of. I do not use a parachute for non-aerobatics flights unless all occupants have parachutes, and are trained in their use. With or without chutes, all occupants will know how to escape from the cockpit in an emergency and will be reasonably capable of doing so, or they do not fly. This prevents me from carrying young children, or certain adults. C'est la Vie. Jack |
