Isn't that like asking if you'd receive preferential achievement if you were a dandy shot with a .375 magnum and had a boy scout badge in bushcraft?
After all, in the unlikely event of a forced landing, there you are, out in the bush with a plane load of bedraggled Brits, each one of whom thinks they are now the colonial master piece in charge. Quickly taking command yourself by the simple expedient of pointing out which way is North, you use your not inconsiderable talents to make bivouac for them, pot off a passing impala with your trusty rifle, whip up a gourmet stew, tell them tales of the bush under the stars, bed the millionaire charter's daughter and lead them all to safety the next day. Well, perhaps the day after if the daughter was very good in the sand pit. Those are talents that would be of more use on the face of it than gliding. However, none of the above would have happened had you not known how to glide and had you not known that jettisoning the aforementioned daughter from the gliding aircraft would not have extended your gliding range one metre.
So yes, gliding is very important but a degree in aeronautical engineering would be really useful in the Botswana bush.
