 ===== - Daily Inspection/Rigging =====
-All gliders require a Daily Inspection (DI) before being flown on any given day. Pilots must be cleared to DI club gliders, with a signature on the ground handling card and/or logbook. The DI book must be signed to show that a glider has been DI’d. Once a glider has been inspected it can be taken out to the launch point and not before.
+All gliders require a Daily Inspection (DI) before being flown on any given day. Pilots must be cleared to DI club gliders by an Instructor/Inspector with a signature in their logbook and be atleast solo(unless otherwise sufficently experienced). The DI book must be signed to show that a glider has been DI’d. Once a glider has been inspected it can be taken out to the launch point and not before.
-Note that the DG505 DI book needs to be specifically annotated that the inspection included a check of the canopy locking mechanism.
 Any defects found should be reported to an instructor or inspector who will then assess the appropriate actions. Any glider found to be subsequently unserviceable should have a “Do Not Fly” collar placed over the control column and a defect report placed in the night safe or handed in to the office; refer [[g._reporting_defects_in_club_gliders|G. Reporting Defects in Club Gliders]].
