Default Debunking Glider Spoiler Turns Causing Spin Thinking

As a currently appointed glider DPE I can say with some certainty the there is no documented minimum altitude loss in the current US FAA Glider Practical Test standard.

The current standards were published in 1999, prior to that time there were many elements that are no longer tested or for which the tolerances have changed.
