Sounds like you’re back home now! Obviously getting ready to do some flying. I’m planning on being out there this coming week and flying on Saturday for the ALES event, wanted to check and see if you were going to be there? I’d be willing to help you in anyway
I can but as you know, I’m not certified for anything except grunt work. I’d like to come over and take a look at your Ultima too so I can ask some questions about mine if I ever get it. Give me a call to let me know what your plans are for next week.

<div dir="ltr">Hey everyone:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Just wondering if anyone has their LSF eSAP or SAP Level 2 or better certification. Greg and Curtis, I know about you guys. Has anyone else ventured into LSF? <a href="https://www.silentflight.org" class="">https://www.silentflight.org</a>
I’m currently beginning work on eSAP level 5. This level requires two level 2 or greater witnesses for all tasks. I would like to complete many of the tasks in our local environment, as I’ve done for levels 1 - 4. To do this qualified witnesses will be
needed. As part of the fun, traditionally upper level certified pilots have helped lower level pilots through the process. Anybody want to give it a go? I’m available to assist.</div>

<div class="">There is no cost to participate in the program. Also, LSF is the AMA partner in charge of putting on the soaring events at the NATS. Good stuff we all benefit from there!</div>

<div class="">For background, The Soaring Achievement Program (SAP) and Electric Soaring Achievement Program (eSAP) were initiated by the League of Silent Flight (LSF) to foster development of soaring skills for both traditional winch launched and the newer
electric launched soaring activities. Both programs have 5 levels, which gradually increase in difficulty. I found the eSAP program a great way to establish personal goals, help focus my practice sessions, and to attempt new activities that stretch and expand
flying skills. Levels 1 and 2 are easy and anyone currently flying in our local contests would have no problems completing the tasks. Levels 3 and 4 present increasingly difficult challenges, but you will find your skills have also developed to help you
through them. Level 5 becomes very difficult. Only 137 pilots have achieved level 5 completion since 1975.</div>
