The official 2019 application form for the soaring badges of the Soaring Association of Canada.

Replacing October 2017 application form.

Available from the Soaring Association of Canada, awarded by clubs to pilots completing the requirements, the Bronze badge reflects the continuous development of a pilot’s skills after licensing. The Bronze Badge is the required entry level for beginner cross-country clinics run by provincial associations and by the Canadian Advanced Soaring Association.

You are permitted to use Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) GPS units for recording position evidence for Silver and Gold badge legs. Use this form to apply for approval to use your position recorder.

Pilots wishing to submit a flight towards a badge or record need to fill out this official form, and have it signed by an official observer.
