Default New Silver Distance Rules?

I have viewed this scene adapted for many topics. Anyone know the original movie?

It's called "Der Untergang" (Downfall). It's the story of the end of the
inner circle of Nazi Germany at the end of WWII. It's available with
subtitles online in various places if you look for it -- a pretty good
movie.

The new rules require you to fly from release to a landing, or a declared turnpoint at least 50km away from your release. So no longer can you "remote start" like you could in the past.

Ah. I was under the impression a 50km leg was sufficient.

So, you could fly north 49km from release, turn south to a point 98km away (49km south of release), and have essentially flown a 196km triangle but never got 50km from release, so it wouldn't count?

20 or 30 year old flights


Doesn't the claim have to be submitted within one year of the flight?

I have so much to learn!

BGA rules require a Silver badge before becoming an instructor. German rules before EASA required the same. Of course, the FARs require the incredibly difficult Commercial Pilot, Glider, certificate which no one else does.

Happy New Year,

Terry

PS So, I can get an aerotow 51km upwind on a nice cloud street...
