If you need an ICAO recognised glider licence you can take one of the cheap
flights to NZ, have a bit of a holiday and get one of their CAA ones while
there.
Just do your homework and break the back of the paperwork before you go.
This would seem to be the cheapest way for Australians.
Pity we are one of the few places you cannot get a recognised licence. Makes
you feel second rate :-(

Subject: [Aus-soaring] pilot license
To Tom's enquiry about pilot licensing for use o/s
my understanding would be that GFA
in addition to formalising GPC for the future;
would also be able
as the 'organisation of record'
to certify that the original instructor
was trained, endorsed, certified and audited by GFA
and therefore did train to the syllabus.
If the organisation of record can't do this,
firstly what is the point of having the organisation
and secondly what are the prospects of the organisation
being accepted by CASA in its sport aviation hierarchy transition.
Just asking.....

While conducting an e-mail war with CASA re a licence/letter of
qualification to replace SLMG on my ATPL [for the World Comps] the 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]
