If glider pilots want their license to be recognized internationally, they have
to be prepared to undergo the yearly medicals ( over 40) at a cost of probably
$300 in a licensed clinic.Not just your GP. ( anyway that's the way it is in
Europe) It is a very thorough medical with a large number of older pilots
failing.
If you want to fly in Europe , France is the best place. Nicest to fly and
relatively easy for UK and Aussie pilots. I know of 2 airfields that help the
most, Serres with Klaus Ollman and Sisteron-Vaumeilh.

European glider pilots would love to have to ozzie way license instead of vast
amounts of red tape. For the few pilots that go overseas ( like me) it will be
easier but I think the GFA should think twice, or rather 10 times before going
to that system.
