(USA) logbook endorsement requirement(s) for new glider type?

I don't mind giving a cockpit checkout in gliders I have not flown. My statement says simply that the pilot has read the POH and that I have conducted a review of the instruments and flight controls, and then sign that statement. I agree. IMHO, the insurance company is using the CFIG as an agent to confirm that the pilot has a basic understanding of the glider, and has at least spoken with a person of authority who holds the "keys" to flight in the new plane. I go over the POH, cockpit, and general basics of operation. The details are very dependent on whether I know the person or the glider. I will not endorse the logbook if I have any belief that the pilot is irresponsible enough to not obtain the proper training (whether from a CFIG or other experienced pilot) prior to a first flight. And the endorsement only confirms that I have provided the briefing, no more, no less. -Tom |
