Aviation Forum / General / Soaring / February 2009IGC Online Pilot Survey
The IGC is conducting a worldwide survey of glider pilots. The survey aims to better understand the issues faced by glider pilots in different countries, assess the quality of experience enjoyed by members of our sport and map out the nature of the global soaring community. We would like to hear about your experiences as a glider pilot and your views on soaring. Your responses will help us in defining development strategies for our sport. I invite you to participate in the survey, by following the link below: http://igc-survey.fai.org/ -- Alexander Georgas Chairman IGC Country Development Working Group > The IGC is conducting a worldwide survey of glider pilots. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Chairman > IGC Country Development Working Group I took the survey, but I was a little confused when it came to selecting the type of glider I own. My understanding was that "standard class" is 15 meter, unflapped, and that '15 meter' included flapped 15 meter gliders. That option wasn't shown, so I selected 'racing class'. I suppose if I ever raced, that would be true. >I took the survey, but I was a little confused when it came to >selecting the type of glider I own.

I suppose if I ever raced, that would be true. 20m 2-Seat Class isn't mentioned either so I opted for Open Class. Also, Scotland isn't included on the Country List but I noticed the great soaring pilgrimages are, for example Christmas Island and Vatican City. ;o) >I took the survey, but I was a little confused when it came to >selecting the type of glider I own.

It also lists "Metal 2-seater" in the list of club aircraft but there's no choice for metal single seater! So much for all those Schweitzers....

Thus, one pilot (me) will be counted as not having information on a curious number of questions. John Cochrane |
