IGC Online Pilot Survey
The IGC is conducting a worldwide survey of glider pilots.
The survey aims to better understand the issues faced by glider pilots in different countries, assess the quality of experience enjoyed by members of our sport and map out the nature of the global soaring community.
We would like to hear about your experiences as a glider pilot and your views on soaring. Your responses will help us in defining development strategies for our sport.
