My enquiries re the GPC & GPL is that they are perpetual, but only valid if you
hold a current GFA membership for the GPC and a current AVID or ASIC card for
the GPL. Of course the AVID card will cost you about $150/3 years. I think the
ASIC card is more.

Jenny,
Stop whinging/worrying: Put in anything you like, but quite obviously not
somebody – or an organisation – that is deceased! In theory they have to have a
valid email address. However if you are not in a hurry you might just make up
something and see how you go. Hey guys, what might be an interesting email
address to use here? This is a box ticking exercise to be sure. The essential
thing is that CASA has YOUR contact details.
Your last question is interesting. Please let us all know what you discover.
Good luck.
Gary

Hi Simon, and everyone
Just had another look at the CASA paperwork, and thought I'd try to fill it in
for the heck of it.
In Section C: Applicant Declaration it says
"I authorise CASA to send a copy of all communications regarding THIS
application to my training provider
Contact Name Contact Email "
What are you supposed to put in here? Your gliding Club? CFI? Does anybody
know?
And when you get the GPL is it perpetual like the PPL?
Regards
Jenny

Some months ago, I asked some questions here on this list about how to get a
“Glider Pilot Certificate” on the way to getting a CASA “Glider Pilot License”.
I got a variety of helpful responses directly and indirectly, along with a few
folks basically wishing me luck !!
Well, I actually did manage to do it in the end - it took months, but the CASA
GPL turned up in the mail today (as an endorsement on my Part 61 license).
For those of you who either want to do the same thing, or for those who are
simply masochists, I’ve just spent some happy time today writing down the
journey so far.
I’ve done that mostly in the hope that others may find it helpful to make their
own (similar) journey easier, if they should wish to undertake that journey
themselves in the future.
Here it is:

Cheers,
