You're absolutely right, there's little else I can say.

However that said, why can\'t something along the lines of glidings, bronze, silver, gold award be introduced to further your flying achievement, instead of the IMC, night, twin route that many seem to take.
Good idea - and I think AOPA have just started something similar.
One second please...
...ah, here it is:
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Wings Awards Scheme offers four levels of award namely Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Wings.
The aim is to promote the development of holders of the Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) and the National Private Pilot’s Licence (NPPL) through the recognition of their achievements by the award of AOPA Wings.
