If you are a member of a gliding club & GFA member to get a GPC you can
apply on line once logged into the GFA site, >
http://www.gfa.org.au/component/com_chronoforms/Itemid,787/view,form/, this
will set it in motion, your CFI will receive a form to complete for you.
When I applied it was possible to download the form yourself and get your
CFI to sign it ( if he/she feels you qualify). Its that easy. I don't know
what the CASA involvement is , maybe they don't know either.

I tried to make sense of this thread and it just hurt my head. Not the fault
of this thread, more the fault of the underlying confusion it is trying to
unscramble...
I thought- well, what the heck, I imagine I qualify for a Glider Pilot
License, why don't I just apply for one and see what happens. One more notch
in the pistol case, eh - maybe useful in the future, maybe not.
So I searched the CASA site for application forms, which lead me to this
page, called "CASA Flight Crew Licensing Forms":
http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/formdisplay.asp?session=1001&pc=PC_91489&formtopic=fcl&formnoin=&public=YES&Show+forms=Show+forms
On that page there is a link called "Form 61-1GP - Glider Pilot
Application".
Clicking on the link gets you an error message ... "The requested page does
not exist. Please check the URL."
** argh **
(Yes, I've emailed them to ask them to fix it - but its not a great start,
is it? Then again, I doubt it'll be the only hiccup in the move to Part 61
on 1st September...)
Regards,
Simon
