Tom, wrong coast for me, but I am due this spring.
But now that you're webinar is over, what is the final discussion on
91.121 and setting the altimeter to zero?



On-going discussions with the FAA. The intent of the FAR is not the
issue.
The problem is the use of the English language which allows some to
make an incorrect interpretation. The FAR wording needs changed.

This just one example of the problem. As many of you know, the FAA's
version of the Glider Flying Handbook must have been written by a 9th
grader, which allows some to misunderstand the intent of the content,
or believe it is factual.

The edited version I made available has more than 1,400 editorial
changes - many extremely important, safety related issues.
Unfortunately, most student glider pilots are using the FAA version,
and therefore, the incorrect information still contributes to glider
accidents.

The FAA will attend this next FIRC.
