Thanks for the (usable!) info, GC.

I think it's a great idea.

Along with more training on gaggle flying, XC flying, etc.

Of course, that would require that US instructors actually have some
gaggle, XC, high performance experience and training themselves.

Unfortunately, that is somewhat rare in the US (with many notable
exceptions, of course).

How about mandating Silver badge as a prereq for a CFIG rating - kinda
like a CFI has to have an instrument rating...

That is/was a UK requirement, and a good one in my opinion.
