So now I'm confused as to your position in this matter.

Are you more concerned with how maintenance on the Academy's aircraft
is documented and the management of such documentation, or are you
more concerned about the cessation of flying once discrepancies in the
documentation were discovered?

Not interested in multiple choice.
Of course if discrepancies are found they must be dealt with.
There have already been two groundings of a new fleet of gliders with an
established, world-wide track record. That's why I said "I don't like
the way the way the Academy appears to be managing this valuable
program." Its a simple program really. These aren't B2s we're talking
about. Is that clear enough?
As for the L-33 accident, my understanding was that the cadet was
outside the flight envelope. S/he should have known better, because
S/he should have been instructed to. Another Academy issue.

I doubt we'll see common ground on this issue.
