Terry - I absolutely think that's the interim path until the FAA goes through rule making to fix the core issue of rated pilots not being able to solo a glider without a flight review in an aircraft for which they hold a rating.

1 - Train to proficiency IAW the Light Sport Glider PTS in the 2-33 and get an instructor recommendation to take the proficiency check. Get the appropriate endorsement in the logbook and sign off on form 8710-11.

2 - Successfully pass a proficiency check in the 2-33 with another instructor to the Light Sport Glider PTS and get the appropriate logbook endorsement and signature on the 8710-11.

3 - The instructor that completed the Proficiency Check sends the 8710-11 to Oklahoma City.

4 - Complete a flight review in the 2-33 with any instructor.

5 - At this point, one should be able to get a solo endorsement in any glider that they are training in as the Flight Review requirement has been met and they are training for an additional category to add to their Private, Commercial, or ATP certiciate.

It would be interesting to hear a DPEs thoughts on this.
