WA – the life of
soaring legend Wally Scott
by Samantha Hilbert Thomas
The life story of Wallace A. Scott, who during his 36 years of soaring
pushed the limits of how far one can fly without an engine. His Texas
childhood and his families movie theater business set the roots for an
adventurous life. He learned to fly in a J-2 and continued his flying career
in the US Air Corps during WWII. He came to soaring later in life but
quickly made up for the missed years by starting his quest for long distance
records within a few years after learning to fly a glider. He became a
pioneer of free distance, straight out flight and won 4 FAI international
records, 20 Lewin A. Barringer Trophies for longest flight, and numerous
other awards. The book incorporates Wally’s own words by using his personal
journals and Soaring magazine articles as well as interviews with his wife
Boots. In addition to his lifelong romance with flying, there are many other
facets to this man, called the ‘John Wayne of soaring’, that make this book
a fascinating addition to your soaring library.

GLIDER PILOT GROUND SCHOOL
see bottom of this page for upcoming ground schools
Written Test Preparation Books
Years ago (Far more than I'd like to
remember) I and several others from my local glider club, took the one day
GPGS course with Edgar Seymour at our local airport. The course is
specifically designed, not to teach everything you need to know to fly
gliders, but is aimed at getting you ready to take and PASS the FAA required
written knowledge test for your pilots certificate. The course specifically
answers the questions and gives the right answers and covers the tests so
anyone can pass this exam. These are the same guide books used for the
ground school course, updated and the same guides used today with the once
again active GPGS courses given across the country today by Edgar's sons who
have reinvigorated and continued the programs starting again in 2006.
The GPGS will be back on the road covering 12 cities starting with the SSA
convention in Arlington Texas February 4th and 5th 2006. For details on
where and when please contact Dave Seymour at
Z3PLT@yahoo.com or call (877)FLY-GPGS
These low cost guides will help you pass the FAA written test the first time
and are geared specifically at the "GLIDER" pilot written test saving you
time and effort by not having to study additional questions and answers that
are not applicable to glider pilots and their required test questions and
are now available from W&W.

Practical Test Standards For Glider Certificates
Practical Test Standards are "THE" guide

and acceptable outcome on any and all practical test for
certificates...Don't be surprised, be prepared!
