Maybe you should read what Simon wrote. He wanted to apply for a
Glider Pilot Licence not a GPC.

If you are a member of a gliding club & GFA member to get a GPC you

this will set it in motion, your CFI will receive a form to complete
for you. When I applied it was possible to download the form
yourself and get your CFI to sign it ( if he/she feels you qualify).
Its that easy. I don't know what the CASA involvement is , maybe
they don't know either.

I tried to make sense of this thread and it just hurt my head. Not
the fault of this thread, more the fault of the underlying confusion
it is trying to unscramble...
I thought- well, what the heck, I imagine I qualify for a Glider
Pilot License, why don't I just apply for one and see what happens.
One more notch in the pistol case, eh - maybe useful in the future, maybe not.
So I searched the CASA site for application forms, which lead me to
this page, called "CASA Flight Crew Licensing Forms":
http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/formdisplay.asp?session=1001&pc=PC_91489&formtopic=fcl&formnoin=&public=YES&Show+forms=Show+forms
On that page there is a link called "Form 61-1GP - Glider Pilot Application".
Clicking on the link gets you an error message ... "The requested
page does not exist. Please check the URL."
** argh **
(Yes, I've emailed them to ask them to fix it - but its not a great
start, is it? Then again, I doubt it'll be the only hiccup in the
move to Part 61 on 1st September...)
Regards,
Simon
