2008 Eastern SAC Instructor Course

In spite of a very pessimistic weather forecast, GGC hosted the 2008 Soaring Association of Canada (SAC) eastern instructor course Aug. 4-8. Three candidates from three eastern Canadian clubs where put through their paces by course director (or was that “Oberfeldwabel”) Richard Sawyer. Flexibility was the key in timing the flying and classroom lectures and in the end all candidates managed to get the necessary flying exercise completed between the daily mid-afternoon “monsoons”. All candidates agreed that they had learned a lot about the art and technique of instructing and were very appreciative of Richard’s teaching style.

Well done Richard!

Cheers,
Roger
