'Beagle'-
Could I just clear something up
- did you produce this table yourself? Or am I missing some official statement recently covering the new transponder requirements?
'Fuji Abound' - please disappear up your own ****
'Captain Flash '- 'In reality these pilots will have had less formal training in many cases then a JAR PPL A and are therefore more likely to cause problems!'
I note from your profile that you only have a PPL. Nuff sed then. MOST glider pilots have better airmanship and handling abilities than your averge PPL.
