I am a student PPL. The question I have relates to the gold stripes I have observed at some flying schools. I unfortunately do not know what they are indicating, but I assume the more stripes the higher the grade!
This is probably fairly basic, but could some-one enlighten me as to the significance of say 'one gold > 4 golds' what do they mean in terms of pilot qualification.
Sometimes an instructor will not be wearing stripes at all! What does this mean?
It's a little embrassing to ask at the time!
