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

That's a pretty heavy dose of CYA, all around.

I can see it now.

"Gee, you mean I bought this brand new ASH-31 and no one will check me
out?" C'mon.

Y'all are taking the gummint mindset way too far.

Since cockpit checks are insurance rules and not gov't rules why the
fear of giving cockpit check signoffs? What is the insurance company
going to do to a CFI for a giving a cockpit check prior to an
accident(causal or not)?

As a CFIG, I just make sure the pilot is familiar with the operating
limits, speeds, handling characteristics, etc.
I also like him or her to close their eyes and grab spoilers, flaps,
gear, etc.
In other words, I want to know they are prepped well.
No, I don't believe I have flown everything, yet...
