Default How do we inspire pilots to truly take up cross country soaring ?

I agree that all instructors do not need to be XC qualified. First you need students flying, then you need them soaring. As long as the "general" policy, is to support XC training your club will fledge more pilots. In our club, much XC "instruction" is done by non instructors.

One other policy we put in place is your first aero retrieve is free. This was to help eliminate "get homeites". Don't sweat it, land safely, we will come get you...
