Re: [Aus-soaring] World gliding numbers

When you graph the figures for each Country, quite a few of them show a dip late 90's/early 2000 and then recover slightly.
 
Why was that?
 
Is it perhaps about when many Countries realised that they needed to make a promotional effort?

Sometimes you are sorry that you started something on this list, but not this time.
Thanks Peter for your application to the subject.
Nice to know the ballpark boundaries.

    Good stuff.
 
    Can you add the % increase/decrease, for each country, in your spreadsheet, based on the comparison of the 93 - 04 figures .......... to see what the various trends are?

Juggled those numbers a bit in Excel, and resorted into order of number of people in population per glider pilot.
Results are interesting.
The ANOMALY, is the USA, but remember that in USA glider pilots are mostly power pilots first, with glider ratings, whereas in most other countries, glider pilots are basically a separate pilot community.

The number of glider pilots in the US would seem to be roughly the same proportion to the total population as it is in Australia and decreasing at the same rate.
 
Similarities of cause perhaps?

Thanks for those figures ........ and also to PB
 
While the figures for OZ are 1993 3510 & 2004 2637 ........... a decrease here of about 25% (or 882 pilots in gross terms) when calculated on the same basis.

Ta for that Patrick.
I was pretty sure John had done a report for later years (and still continues) but I couldn't find it before.
 
To correct the numbers in my previous email :
 
The US numbers have been substantially reduced from the original 2003 estimates, however, these (more justifiable?) numbers still show:
1993  23557
2004  20980
A decrease of about 11% (or 2577 pilots in gross terms).
 
So compared to John's first estimate, there appear to be less glider pilots in the US to start with and a bigger loss of pilots (both gross numbers and %wise) over the sample period than was originally thought. 
 
Regards
SWK
