JSAT gliding has not been the responsibility of the RAFGSA for quite a few years; JSAT was taken over by HQ 22 Group and became the Robson Gliding Centre or RGC which is part of the 22 Group Robson Academy of Resilience. The take over transferred all JSAT staff to 22 Group and the only contact between the RGC and the RAFGSA has been that the RGC had no kit of it's own and so leased RAFGSA kit. The ATC and JSAT tasks are different, one using standard CFS teaching methods to achieve a first solo and the other using the BGA system for sport gliding. Never the twain shall meet, I doubt that many of the CGS instructors have the requisite qualifications to hold a BGA full category.
