Enthusiasm is usually the loser...and so it was today.
The willing Aussie who put his hand up to organise Duo training over the winter finally gave up...
A bit of background...the training schedule for the Duo was over engineered just a bit.
Seems we wanted lots of ratings...Duo rating, X-Country in the Duo rating, motor in the Duo rating, how to put the tail wheel on the Duo rating, and so on.
The upshot is very few people have actually got all the way through the program. Especially considering the cost..
Actually I thought a X-country rating had nothing to do with any particular glider but rather an ability to do the x-country thing...land-out, find the trailer etc
And those who already had a Duo rating, and a X-country rating needed to go through the whole process again...no thank you. However I digress...
A nice e-mail came out a few days ago...Duo ratings over the winter...a bit of flying stuff, a bit of ground stuff etc etc (probably still over-engineered but heading in the right direction).
Sadly it seems some don't like delegation...so he gave up.
Reminds me of the days when I edited the newsletter...but that's another story....
