While conducting an e-mail war with CASA re a licence/letter of

CASA man implied that although he was satisfied that the GPC
syllabus satisfied the ICAO licence requirements he could not be
certain that I was trained in accordance with the syllabus. As my
old instructor has recently died and cannot certify it looks like I
may never get one! [I guess 20 000hrs and an ATPL does not help]

So you should have asked him why they were still happy to have you
fly in Australia as he'd just indicated he couldn't be sure you were
properly trained. Which of course applies to ALL Australian glider
pilots and instructors.
Other airspace users and third parties might reasonably ask why CASA
allows people it can't be sure are properly trained, to fly as pilots
in command in Australian airspace.
Might be interesting for CASA if there's an accident where innocent
third parties are killed or injured. And for the pilot involved if a
lawyer finds this out.
Has this farce in sport aviation in Australia gone on for long enough, yet?
