Thursday 8th December

Low cloud and patchy rain to start, building up to gale force winds and heavy downpours. Not a day to go gliding, so several of us sat down to talk our way through Bronze preparation. Discussions included the requirements for awarding a Bronze and how it fitted into DSGC post solo training and where it will fit in the new EASA licence. Then, because there was a lot of it outside, we talked about the weather - what makes a good soaring day, sea breezes etc.
Jonathan sat some volunteers down to record simulated RT conversations to be used as examples on our website training page, to be available soon.
