*GLIDING*
*What has happened to the ideas about promoting gliding?*
“The future of gliding in Europe” was the central theme at the 64th
German Gliding Day at the beginning of November in Hanover. Anyone who
had hoped for a spirit of optimism sought in vain.
*Alternatives to the JAR medical
*The fitness for flying criteria have come under fire. Jürgen K. Knüppel
has summarised the current discussion and introduces the German Aero
Club’s “family doctor model” for recreational pilots as an alternative
to JAR-FCL 3.
In the news regarding power flying they mention that EASA are proposing
a Recreational PPL with medicals done by any GP. I gather the new JAR
standards have resulted in people who were previously regarded as fit to
fly losing their medical certification.
The problem with medical standards is that at some point they are just a
matter of opinion.
