Why is it that the pro-argument uses worked examples and reason and logic to justify their position but those against just use FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt). If there are genuine reasons why we shouldn't become licenced then let's hear 'em before we, as you claim, make a big mistake. And if you do reply, keep in mind that the licence is optional. It's worth noting that, as well as the introduction of the RPL, the PPL will be changed such that pilots who hold a PPL will be able to get endorsements to fly other types (eg helicopters) without the need to hold a seperate license as is the current case. One of the endorsements that they will be able to apply for is for gliders. rgds Pete -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
