Getting your Glider Pilot’s Cross Country Endorsement
To qualify for the Cross Country endorsement, the applicant has to demonstrate his or her ability to soar, to navigate effectively, and to select and fly an approach into a suitable field.
The holder of the Bronze and Cross Country endorsements is a qualified glider pilot who can fly beyond gliding range of their home airfield.
The cross country endorsement is aimed at the solo glider pilot who has or is working towards their Bronze badge. In order to qualify for the cross country endorsement having achieved the soaring flight at your own club our super dimona motor glider will be used to train for (if required) and then to:
Pass a field selection and field landing skills assessment and
Pass a navigation skills assessment
A certain amount of pre-work is desirable so that assessments can be undertaken soon as reasonable. Training can be tailored to meet your individual need with the assessments usually two to three flights covering all aspects of the BGA’s requirements.
All training and tests are done in house with Oxfordshire sport flying BGA approved instructors and examiners.
