As fun and rewarding as hang gliding is it is missing one important thing that sailplane pilots use.

There is not a culture of using a written, rigid check list. Yet, like us, they assemble their craft before every flight.


Many sailplane pilots have never used a written checklist either, I for
one have NEVER used a WRITTEN checklist.

Most people I have seen struggle to assemble their gliders do use checklists, hmmm.....

I used to be a hangglider pilot also so I guess that's where I picked it up.
