Flight Review in single place glider
It sounds like an interesting approach. Does the student follow a script during the solo flight, is directed by radio to do certain tasks, or ... ? The student follows a test card with the required maneuvers listed by the DPE. |

To be safe from the virus we must compromise flight safety. Or the existing pre-virus safety rules were unnecessary. Pick one.

Many CFI-glider are older and some have underlying conditions. Keeping CFIs alive until there is a vaccine is much more important than having a CFI ride in the backseat during my Flight Review. Even if I could find a CFI to ride in the backseat, I don't want to share that airspace. |

Is flying with a CFI per FAA, insurance and club rules necessary to safety or not? If so then we can't safely fly without doing those things and since being within 6' of another human will forever be deadly(this power trip isn't going to end) once our flight reviews are up we are grounded forever. |

Any chance that FAA would allow (the flying portion of) Flight Reviews to be completed with the CFI standing on the ground? Would this not be as good as or better than the CFI sitting in the backseat? I'm not a CFI, but I don't see the magic in having the CFI in the backseat. What could not be accomplished with a preflight briefing of expectations, a radio, and maybe a pair of binoculars and/or *.igc flight log review? And/or a CFI-tuggie could fly the tow plane, observe the aerotow from that position and maybe even observe the glider pilot from the air. Let's just let everybody expire and then wait for the FAA to come up with a sensible policy to address it. Maybe the clubs can function as a private enterprise, close off access to everybody who isn't an influential member, then fold when the **** hits the fan. |
