How comfortable people feel about glider pilots flying with self
declared fitness to fly can be another topic for discussion!
Sometimes, in the rush toward having a rule to satisfy every situation,
we sometimes tend to forget that for many (a majority?)
of the 2000 sailplaners across Australia
are just flying for fun for themselves.
They risk themselves
(having had that conversation no doubt with loved ones)
often in a sailplane they own
and so the question has to be asked
what is achieved by grandma nanny
having a rule for every situation
when in the end
each glider pilot chooses to fly and takes the consequences
of that choice on themselves.
(A quite different topic is hiring a glider to someone else, flying
more than one in the cockpit, etc.)
