One weakness of the GFA paper is that it does not seem take into account the
fact that, irrespective of any license held, the Club is able to apply
whatever currency rules they see fit to fly each glider type in the
inventory. That is the situation now, and it would still be the situation

The issue of the proposed CASA Recreational License requires
some degree of understanding before GFA members shout too loudly about
it. Before making any pronouncement one should look at the situation with
an open mind. It would be wise to consider if, A- Is it the thin end of the
wedge? B-
It was only recently that I became aware that Microsoft
Windows XP will not work with DOS. I dont know how this will affect those flight
recorders that use a DOS system. Think about it folks before you upgrade your
computers! Ron Baker.
I agree with Ken that many benefits would accrue from having an Australian
Gliding License.
To have a very positive and identifiable goal beyond first solo would
provide excellent motivation for many students. Motivation that is at
present obscured by a vague series of "mini goals" like completi
Back on May 2 on the GFA web site under "what's new", this matter was
reasonably explained for members to consider. Some time before this round
of debate. I do not find that much of the argument being put in this forum
offers much light or refutes satisfactorily the position the GFA is taking.
> Absolutely none of the perceived advantages exist,
Why is it that the pro-argument uses worked examples and reason and
logic to justify their

Don't know that I'm complaining, but what's the deal with the new green

this new green folder.

That club put me off gliding for 10 years!(And is the only organisation or

What are all these disadvantages ?

I'm surprised by the attitude of the GFA against the CASA license proposal.
This is particularly so as the Gliding community (and
consequently GFA) struggles to get new members and has trouble keeping
them.
