I thought that there was supposed to be no more mention or material or anything from the irresponsible, untrustworthy, free-loading us-auks.org, Joe?

DMarley,

I do not see any such material in this very focused ushgrs.org topic. Your trio of adjectives for that association are, I guess, owned by you; I suppose you feel you have profound proof for your position; when I examine that scene, I cannot justify the adjectives you just used. Differences; but that discussion is off-topic; maybe open up a topic for your case.

Lift,
Joe

I'll take two H5s. Throw in a PhD while you are at it.

> independent of ... instructors

Ratings are used for safety, and should not be an "internet degree" you sign up for.

hgflying,

ushgrs.org states rating referring to pilot proficiency over knowledge, judgment, and skill needed for recreational hang gliding safety and enjoyment.

=========================
Aug 26, 2018, version of "about" ushgrs.org:

ushgrs.org
United States Hang Gliding Rating System is a national independent ratings certifying agency regarding pilots' proficiency in solo recreational hang gliding without addressing towing, event competing, tandem flying, instructor businesses, or powered flight realms. ushgrs.org relies on mentors, observers, examinations, and pilot involvement in the evidenciary process. Interested persons may readily find a pilot's ratings for such domain at http://ushgrs.org.org

Disclosure:
ushgrs.org is not affiliated with any hang gliding association nor hang glider business. No fees are charged to recreational hang glider pilots for the services of ushgrs.org. The team of recreational hang gliding mentors volunteer their expertise to bring success to this self-regulatory service.

Application:
Ratings are just one part of the sport's safety and enjoyment package; any launch calls upon immediate appraisal of all key parameters to effect safe and enjoyable gliding and soaring; the physics of wind, weather, wing, and immediate conditions of the pilot and the environment do not get altered by a rating. A pilot is encouraged never to rely on a rating for successful launches, glides, and landings. Ratings are part of the important social and communications aspects of hang gliding activity. Keeping skills and knowledge current is more important than a declared rating; a responsible pilot will ever act within his or her present and immediate readiness relative to immediate environmental conditions. Readiness may slide or be reduced at any time. Williness to say "No" for a launch is implicit in carrying any rating.

Disclaimer:
Pilots are 100% responsible for their actions in the world. Having a rating does not reduce that responsibility.

Warning:
Hang gliding has the potential of hurting oneself, others, objects, crops, structures, and animals. Any pilot is encouraged to study profoundly such potential and how to avoid injuring anyone or anything by recreationally hang gliding.

Let ushgrs.org possibly file your HG ratings and special skills. U.S. only.

United States Hang Gliding Rating System independent of clubs, corporations, associations, schools, instructors, businesses to fulfill self-regulation per FAR 103 for recreational hang gliding in the U.S

http://ushgrs.org.org

.....and independent of any skills, responsibility, or good judgement.

Paul H,

Differently: ushgrs.org embraces skills, responsibility, and good judgement.

Best to you and yours,
Joe

And an anonymous domain registered in Canada and a Texas-based domain owner. Just more shilling from USH*wks.com.

Jonathan,

There is no shilling from any third party. The ushgrs.org has a keen focus without initiation from MGF nor your mentioned site. The domain is registered by the webmaster of the site via a generic method. I registered and paid for the site in volunteer effort for the ushgrs.org.org == I've registered over 320 domains via that same generic process; the Register4less company handles millions of websites in a similar manner. Common practice; such reduces spam approaches to Register4less' clients.

Best of Lift to you,
Joe

Your "Ratings" list does none of that.

Paul H,

The ratings system may embrace responsibly your skills, knowledge set with adequate judgement.

You may initiate a file at ushgrs.org; use one of its email addresses; file your data and experiences, your responsible habits, and your instances of good judgement and your responsibility embraces.

You USHPA fluffers and shills are fighting a loosing battle. While you may be BMOF (Big Men On Forums), the names on the ushgrs.org includes some of the greatest and most venerable names in hang gliding. I know this upsets your well-established web hierarchy, but the USHPA has proven that is doesn't have the best interests of hang gliding at heart and its time is rapidly coming to an end - as is yours.

....Upon studying such linked information, a property owner may choose to exclude that particular pilot from use of involved land; property owners will vary on their personal choices; ushgrs.org will not make the decision for the property owner or land manager. ....

Whoa..... hold on there.... you're saying that someone representing the owner/entity will need to be on-site during all flying hours in order to verify each pilot's rating and acceptance?

. . . .

Doug why do you make up stuff that just is not said?

Joe is clearly saying the property owner may choose to manage his property any way he chooses.

So, as a self certifying community, what better way to document a pilot’s skills and abilities than to have an on-line "Pilot My Space" with personal affidavits, third party affidavits, log book entries, videos, and knowledge based tests? This can be stored on-line, in your phone, computer, or in the cloud.

. . . .

I forgot to add the digital use of "tracklogs" as a method of validating a pilots experience.

Tracklog
