LSF Levels
The League of Silent Flight is an association for the individual glider pilot. It is not a club, it is a program of tasks. Membership can only be earned by completing these tasks. There are no membership fees.
To become a member, you must fulfil the requirements of Level 1 of the LSF Soaring Accomplishments Program:
- 5 minute thermal flight
- 15 minute slope flight or a second 5 minute thermal flight
- five spot landings within 3 metres of a target point.
Advanced levels in the program are progressively more challenging. Level V, for example, requires:
- 2 hour thermal flight
- 8 hour slope flight
- 10 kilometre goal and return flight as well as considerable success in soaring competition.
Members who attain these levels can then wear/display the distinctive LSF insignia. The LSF emblem on a jacket or sailplane is a symbol of proven performance.
All aspirants and members must maintain affiliation with the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia (FAI Sporting license) through club membership.
Many clubs find that group participation in the LSF can encourage new interest and bring new growth. The LSF is a personal challenge, and serious glider pilots are invited to join the League.
