I was recently contacted by my local FSDO (Scottsdale AZ) with a
request to do a ramp inspection of my glider.

He explained that starting this year, he is required to do "a ramp
inspection and records review of every aircraft that is operating on
an air racing and/or exhibition special airworthiness certificate".

I have yet to hear of any other glider owner receiving such a request
so I thought I would bring it up here. Has anyone else received a
similar request?

It's just you Ted. They put a PHX sectional chart up on a wall
highlighted all the locations of glider owners in the Metro area.
Blindfolded one inspector put him in the vertigo chair, spun him and
then pointed him at the chart. And he picked lucky you.
