Windrush the more I see of the training of glider pilots the more professional I think it is compared to regulated instruction.
The incremental auth's for the instructors as they learn the art of instructing. Also how the student is gradually given more rope to allow them to make decisions as their experience progresses.
I have very few glider hours but I intend to resolve this issue this year. Anyway I owe the CFI of the Royal Deeside a slab of red for an Indiscretion in a powered fixed wing.

and it would be rude to drive all that way and not do the weeks gliding course.
