Bart has two achievements in two weeks

ASGC club member, Bart Thomas, has recently gone solo in the clubs single seat performance glider. This glider flies more efficiently then the training aircraft, and can take advantage of the lighter conditions as we move to the cool weather for the year.  Bart can now attempt the tasks required for his Silver C, Gold C and Diamond milestone badges.  These tasks and goals are recognized internationally and differentiate gliding from power flying.  All of the tasks are possible in Central Australia and the conditions here are as good, if not better, than anywhere else in the world.  Since this achievement, Bart has also gained his endorsement to carry passengers; a step towards gaining an instructors rating in the future. - Jim Thomas
