This is a list of pages including those pending review. Those being reviewed will not be available from the public Instructors Resources page – only from here
Note: This part of the website is in development to cover the pre-solo curriculum.
Introduction
The material here is intended for use by gliding instructors, for example to deliver comprehensive theory briefings to pre-solo students, whereas the Lessons section is intended for self-study.
The goal is that all content is compliant with BGA standards. The advantage of an online resource is that it is shareable, standardised, always available, and accessible almost anywhere via a browser.
Contributions are welcome
Contact me if you would like to provide a briefing, or other content, for inclusion or linking here.
