Sometimes I think the main problem of the increasing age of glider pilots is the growing level of dogmatism. ![]() Do you find standardization of training and checking to have no value? On the contrary - up to a certain point - but what has that to do with the dogmatic statement "Properly done..."? On whose authority? Who's Nyall to lay down the law using words like "properly done..."? Is this some tinpot foreign standard? His description of boxing the wake is nothing like the normal way it's done. How, for example, can you begin by descending through the wake when you're already in low tow? When I check the Instructor's Manual, I find I'm teaching what's normal...and proper... and it contains no climb or descent through the wake. As I said to Tom, it's an interesting variation which clearly has some value and I'm going to use it with students and see how it goes, but in my neck of the woods it would be completely non-standard and IMproper. It may just be Nyall's parochialism but it comes over as dogmatism. ![]() GC Jack |
