Most clubs I've visited still have one if not TWO people required to sit on the ground and log the takeoffs and landings for the whole day. Trivially avoidable by either having pilots record their own takeoff and landing times, or even whizzbang automatic solutions like dittolog.

The fact of the matter is that gliding (except self launchers) requires a team of people to operate, unlike powered flight. It would not be cost effective.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] gliding the sport Right on the money LOL and nothing like getting paid to make you realise that your labour as an instructor has real value and that time is in fact valuable to you and the client. It doesn’t have to be sheep stations. Compensate the instructors for their expenses - getting to the field, memberships, let alone their experience. You don’t have to do it for anyone else _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring -- Mark Fisher Managing Director Swift Performance Equipment Unit 2, 1472 Boundary Rd Wacol 4076 Australia Ph: +61 7 3879 3005 Fax: +61 7 36076277 <http://www.spe.com.au/> www.spe.com.au Image removed by sender.
