1. This package contains the references and confirmation exercises necessary to
prepare candidates for the Glider Instructor Refresher Course.
2. The exercises will be based on a sampling of information found in the following
references (found at BC Air Cadet League website under Aircrew Resources: http://bc-
aircadetleague.com/aircrewResources.php)
a) ACGP Gliding Manual (A-CR-CCP-242/PT-005)
b) ACGP How to Glide Manual
c) ACGP 2-33 Schweizer Aircraft Operating Instructions (AOI`s)
d) ACGP Flight Instructor Guide (FIG) (http://bc-
aircadetleague.com/builder/uploads/fig-draft-7-1-2-acgp-flying-instructor-
guide.pdf)
e) Provisional 2017 ACGP Glider Pilot Course Master Lesson Training Plan
f) Provisional 2017 GPS Syllabus Overview
g) Pacific Region Flying Orders
h) Flight Instructors Handbook (http://bc-

3. Instructors are to arrive on course with this package fully completed. Upon
arrival it will be marked. The information in this package is subject to examination on a
written Performance Check (PC). The knowledge in this package will not be instructed
in-depth, however it is considered to be basic threshold knowledge that a returning
instructor shall possess. Instructors will be further evaluated by both verbal and written
assessment throughout the Glider Instructor Refresher Course.

The following three cards simulate the course progress of a student nearing the
completion of Block 3. As a returning instructor you must be able to identify trends in
your student’s flying and create a suitable flight training plan for their upcoming flight.
The Block 3 Enabling Check (EC) is a chance for you to rectify these errors and improve
their overall flying ability.
Review the cards and create an Air Lesson Brief using the AMOL format for the Block 3
EC on a separate sheet of paper. You will be evaluated on this Air Lesson Brief during
the Refresher Course.

G Training
1. G sensation training will be conducted on the Glider Pilot Scholarship Course as a
means of simulating G forces that should be experienced in a spin/spiral recovery.
Ensuring the glider is G loaded will confirm that pilots are prioritizing terrain avoidance
during spin/spiral recovery procedures.
2. G training maneuvers are as follows:
a. Steep Turn. Set attitude to 65mph and enter a 60º angle of bank turn. When
established, pull assertively on the control column until it is full aft. Note the
increased G loading with a slight climb and decrease in airspeed.
b. 30º nose up stall. Enter from 50mph attitude then set a 30º pitch attitude above
the horizon. Maintain attitude until control column is full aft and glider stalls.
Allow nose to drop well below the horizon, imitating the initial attitude of a full
spin prior to recovery. Pull assertively on the control column to bring the nose to a
10º nose up attitude above the horizon. Note the increased G sensation. Lower the
nose to set 50mph as speed is slowing through 55mph.
c. Spin recovery. Enter from either a straight ahead or skidding turn. Ensure spin
has stabilized prior to recovery. Initiate the recovery procedure once spin is
established. Once the glider is unstalled (shortly after controls are relaxed) look
up, find the closest horizon, roll wings level to the closest horizon and
aggressively apply back pressure to set a 10º nose up attitude on the horizon.
Lower the nose to set 50mph as the speed is slowing through 55mph.
3. An extra 500ft will be added to a flight in Block 2 to conduct the first two G training
manoeuvers (recommended on the stall introduction flight). These manoeuvers will be
demonstrated by the IP and then practiced by the student. No PLs will be assigned as it is
the expected that instructors will heavily coach the students through these manoeuvers.
The objective is to provide a training environment so the student can experience the G
loading required for a safe and effective low nose unusual attitude recovery. The first
two flights of the G training are to be completed before beginning block 3.
4. AL 12 – 14 spin recoveries will be flown as normal using the recovery outlined listed
above.
G training will be conducted to emphasise
that recoveries are emergency procedures and
terrain avoidance is the primary objective.

HPMA/HPACA Exercises
(To be completed before arrival)
1) You are taking off Alpha 12 with the winds 150@10kts. You release at your
planned altitude of 2600’ASL while another glider releases at 3100’ASL above
you. As you come through 2100’ ASL, both gliders are called by tower and are
asked to expedite to the circuit due to CF-18 traffic taking off 12.
Identify any possible threats, your mitigating strategies, and your decision making
process. (air picture, SOPs, PDM, task prioritization)

2) You and your student are being pushed out onto Alpha 30 for AL 15 (EC for
Block 3), the current winds are calm. Your student has given the take up slack
signal and tower has cleared you for take-off with the right circling departure; you
hear a float plane call Tree Island with intentions to take the shoreline route while
transiting northbound to Campbell River.
Describe your decision making process on deciding to launch or not.

3) Glider 4 has just called downwind with the intention to land grass 30, and
received the winds 020@4kts. As Glider 4 approaches its base turn the CC130
Hercules 2 miles out, is cleared for a touch and go by tower. The Hercules has
completed its touch and go as glider 4 turns final. Tower now realizes the
potential danger and tries to contact glider 4.
Identify what threats and hazards, your mitigating process (if you were PIC in the
glider), and your decision making process. (air picture, SOPs, PDM, task
prioritization)
