Thanks Stephen, I am pretty sure that you have got the right answer. The issue for Aussies who go there in the future with the new GPC will be to get that endorsement or validation on their licence from the authority that registered the glider they are going to fly, you are right and that is the key. The present Blue "license" that the BGA issues is the same kind of con that we do (or used to) in that it is not ICAO compliant. What they are presently doing i guess is to get it so and then EASA compliant but at the mo it is not.
Bureaucracy dontcha love it?? I rang the CASA the other day to ask why the endorsement "self launching Glider" was taken off my ATPL years ago. They said " oh you can still fly your Nimbus 3 DM on your ATPL, just don't turn the motor off!!!!!! LOL CRY CRY Another one for you all, Do I need a bi-annual check in order to fly little aeroplanes, if I have six monthly tests and licence renewals renewals at work on my Aus ATPL??????
