We probably should add here the info about Frank's PG instructor.

I disagree strongly with Tad on many things, but he makes a very good point here:

You are totally rolling dice with your life - and look out below - any time you elect to fly a paraglider in thermal or thermal potential conditions. If you do that you're not a pilot. You're a dice roller. But if you look at the relevant u$hPa SOPs:

The United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, Inc. - 2017/03/04
12. Standard Operating Procedure
02. Pilot Proficiency System
16. Advanced Paragliding Rating (P4)
-B. Advanced Rating
- Required Witnessed Tasks
01. Logged Requirements

-d. Must have at least three 1-hour flights in thermal lift without sustaining ridge lift. Flights must originate from at least 2 different sites in Intermediate level conditions.

-f. Must have logged a minimum of 75 hours total airtime, with no more than 25 of these hours to be tandem. Of these 75 hours, 25 must be in thermal lift, with no more than 10 of these 25 hours to be tandem flights.

18. Paragliding Special Skill Endorsements
-A. Special Skills attainable by Novice and above (P2-P5).
-6. Turbulence (TUR):

-e. Must have logged five 30-minute thermal flights without sustaining ridge lift.

They FORCE you to fly in dice rolling conditions to prove yourself as a competent, skilled, safe, responsible pilot.

If this is true, it should be said to the San Diego City Council or a Superior Court Judge ... or both.

I know, you're going to tell me you're afraid of retaliation. That's exactly what threats are supposed to do ... make you afraid. It's up to you to decide what to do about it.

I think everyone already knows what I would do. But you have to make your own decisions.
