I've never understood the point of this. My driving instructor isn't responsible for any stupidity on my behalf once I have a car license. The same goes for a number of other licenses (boat, RAA etc) I hold. Why is there seemingly no stage in between 'gliding student' and 'gliding instructor'? Admittedly this only makes a real difference with privately owned gliders / motorgliders. If you're flying a club glider obviously the club can impose whatever conditions they want.
