1-34 Over Easy (Oscar Echo)
We flew the 1-34 today. Ron Clarke and I had flights in it. I pronounce it an ideal club glider!
It is roomy, easy to get in, does not require a parachute, is plenty big enough inside for our large and tall pilots and it is a dream to fly. It has no bad habits and offers no surprises. Just ask Ron, who had more than an hour in it!

Glider Wings
Rick Hansen has provided Glider Wings for the club to award to members who earn them by successfully completing their check ride and receiving their glider rating.
Some members meeting the requirements may not have received their Wings due to some confusion during the recent change of the chief flight instructor. If you have earned your Wings and have not yet received them, please contact Rick or the chief flight instructor to obtain them.

CISS Students will be Using IP for Landing Approaches
At a recent Instructor meeting it was agreed that the Initial Point concept would be introduced and used for primary training. Approaches from other altitudes and directions will be used for pre-solo dual training flights and students will be encouraged to develop their judgment of angles and apply the TLAR method promoted by Tom Knauff.
An added benefit for all club members will be majority of student traffic should be in this expected pattern which will help identify the areas for extra vigilance when approaching to land.
Everyone is welcome to use this approach if they want. It has been tested extensively by the instructors and students during the past season and there has been positive feedback.
