The MSL/AGL issue has come before the Caesar Creek Soaring Club Board
once again. Not only has the Club been thrown into turmoil again, this
time it has specifically affected our instructors and how to most
effectively teach our students. I am curious if there are other Clubs
or organizations that teach using AGL.

Wowser!!! Thanks - I think - for providing me an "I can't believe what I'm
experiencing," moment. What a buzz.

But enough about me. The 'issue' you raise is akin to an argument about
whether it's better to verify a revolver is unloaded by cracking open the
cylinder and looking, or, leaving the cylinder in place and looking down the
barrel and possibly pulling the trigger if there's any doubt.

The people advocating setting to 0' are - to be blunt - arguably insane.
Paraphrasing (I think) Elmer Fudd, "What a bunch of maroons!!!" (Have any/all
of them contact me personally for a considered, polite, civil discussion of
why this is so.)

Amazement aside, thanks for exposing your club's issue to a public spotlight;
this sort of 'thinking' definitely needs to be excised from potential training
curricula.

Respectfully,
Bob W.
