My two posts above lead me to another question I'd like to ask of you more experienced folks --
Can anyone point me to any on-line resources where I can find a good discussion and explanation of the FAR's that are relevant for glider pilots? I have the full text of Parts 61 and 91, which are full of stuff that doesn't much apply to us, besides being nigh incomprehensible. There ought to be some textbook-style write-up of this good for studying.
Here's one page I found that seems to be the sort of thing I'm looking for -- although I might be looking for something more extensive, but along these lines.

(I've seen a few other discussions kicking around here and there on aviation stackexchange too, but those are piecemeal of course. Like, for instance, that apparently well-known discussion of the privileges, and limitations, of having a Commercial rating.)
