Hi All,
After going through the hook up procedures with
a trainee I always ask âis this what you would
do in a real emergency?â The answer is always
yes. I reply âwhat about using the radio
much saferâ The GFA manuals should be brought
up to date. The effort for many years was to
avoid making the carriage of a radio in a glider
mandatory and all procedures assume a radio is unavailable.

Yep 100+ years after the invention of radio we
still use a form of semaphore using the entire sailplane.
Great.
What a pitiful organisation.
