-Welcome to our Wiki which is packed full of essential information for Pilots flying at Portmoak.+"There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties." –//Douglas Adams//

-===== Where has that link gone? ===== 
  
-The old Pilot's area has a lot of links in a very, very long list with no clear structure to help find the right link.  These links are nearly all somewhere in this new Pilot's Wiki, and [[where_has_it_gone|Where Has It Gone]] annotates what has gone where.  The omitted links were either dead with no replacement easily found, or no longer relevant.+===== Other Useful Links =====
  
-===== Why a Wiki? =====+  * [[https://www.gliding.co.uk/|British Gliding Association (BGA)]] 
 +  * [[:condor:start|Condor & Simulato]]r
  
-There are lots of reasons for using a Wiki to present a lot of information, since in this case some of it is changing frequently. For us, this is especially true of the [[airfield_manual|Airfield Manual]]. You can read more in [[Benefits of a Wiki]].+====   ====
