How do we inspire pilots to truly take up cross country soaring ?
I'm forever indebted to the CFI-Gs who proved that with enough patience (and $s) almost anyone can learn to fly a glider.
CFI-Gs who don't have the skills or ambition to go farther than glide slope from the airport influence their students. A highly respected CFI-G says "I NEVER want to land out" (to budding pilots gathered around the picnic table). "That's just dumb. Why would you get off tow below 1500 AGL? Why take that risk?" Train CFI-Gs in XC, and train CFI-Gs how to develop those skills in students.
