Hi all,
there used to be an RPL for people holding glider Silver and Gold C certifcation.

From memory, it was 10 hours towards the old RPPL, and then GFPT for Silver C holders.

10 hours extra towards UPPL/PPL for holders of Gold C.

I've spent the last 2 hours traipsing the docs, found lots of interesting stuff, but not what I am looking for.

Some of you are whizz bang at finding this stuff...any help much appreciated.

Cheers
Jas

Pinky the pilot

Indeed there was, well at least it applied back in 1982 when I started my training.

However I do not recall actually seeing anything in the ANOs or ANRs. (as they were then) My Instructor at the time just told me to take my Gliding Log Book into 'Aviation House' in Adelaide and speak to one of the Staff there.

I did so and was granted (from memory) 10 hours off the UPPL. Have no idea now if it still applies.
