This file is dynamic in that changes will be continually
made as relationships change with various entities. Questions
to USHGRS are welcome.What will the future hold for the
relationships? Crystal ball? Who knows? We tell about
our past and present on-going relationships. And hopes.
We do not know what the future will hold; but we work
now for a next richer-for-HG scene.

Reach for view of all waivers written regarding FAR 103.
Do the wings at Torrey used for tandem have airworthiness
certificates; and are the same wings used for FAR 103 flights?
What is FAA ruling now?

USHGRS asked for FOIA documents relating to FF hang
gliding.
Answer is pending.
-
USHGRS asked for a ruling about a category of HG Pilots
that are great visitors to the People's lands and
will not have membership in a private corporation
as condition of equitable treatment for recreating
in the Peoples' lands managed by GGNRA.
Answer is pending.
-
USHGRS is corresponding with Charles Strickfaden of
GGNRA.

Coercion for recreational visitor to join private
corporation is not sitting well with those who believe
the government should not force park visitors to inequitably
burdened and especially not to corce individual visitors
to join private entities.

S-SA
S-SA was conceived from minimal free-flight that occurs
in human leaping and high jumping followed up with growing
wings.

USHGRS is a child of S-SA.

The first United States Hang Glider Association
USHGA
-
USHGRS founder founded USHGA, the first.

Top

-
The second USHGA (Gliding), now morphed to USHPA (majorly
paragliding)
-
was co-founded by the founder of the first USHGA (Glider);
thus "Gliding" was co-founded by the founder of USHGRS.
Such org morphed its name as it married paragliding.
Since the morphed org does some core repugnant actions
in our view, the relationship has hardened with distance
and coldness.There are yet no official communications
between USHGRS and the primarily paraglider association.
-
USHGRS mines data about members of the morphed org from
that org's realm.
-
USHGRS has invited some directors of that org to join
a key conversation about Fort Funston; the conversation
open to all is occurring in
HERE
.
Sept. 2018
MGF did not yet arrive at the conversation.
-
USHGRS is relating to USHPA with an anticipation that
USHPA may morph further to hold any and all foci of
a generalized pilot free-flight, and so USHGRS firms
a mission to a narrower service focus on recreational
hang gliding
only
. USHGRS is preparing for what seems to be occurring:
a collapse of satisfying service from USHPA to recreational
hang gliding.
So, an
independent
rating certification system
was born : USHGRS.

US Hawks Hang Gliding Association
-
There are no official relationship documents between
USHGRS and US Hawks HGA.
-
USHGRS mines data from the forum of US Hawks HGA.
-
USHGRS adds the ratings stated by US Hawks HGA to
our certification cases as we move to conclusion for
statements of ratings made by USHGRS;
the process is
not automatic; critical overview of their data is
practiced at USHGRS.
-
USHGRS has been in forum invited to communicate with
the HG world in the forum.
-
USHGRS does participate in that forum and has been
benefited by the conversations there. Critiques and
suggestions keep arriving from those posting in that
forum.

forum at Oz Report.
-
USHGRS has
received
benefit
from posters in that forum.
-
USHGRS mines the messages of that forum for data to
be used in the certification-of-pilot ratings.
-
There is no official documents between USHGRS and
Oz Report.

Mid Sept 2018 without notice a mild topic thread "Pilot
Pages" was locked. USHGRS just asked Davis for the
reason.

Jack's forum

That forum has yet to amend its obliteration of USHGRS
posted topic. sg, the owner and moderator installed
false text and false text linking in the obliteraton
actions. USHGRS has sent many invitations for him
to correct the obliterations. USHGRS gets full silent
treatement over such invitations. sg blocked USHGRS's
representative from posting in his forum.

FFFF
Fellow Feathers of Fort Funston, a non-profit corporation
is having ever to protect its private interests. Right
now it is configured in a way that blocks an important
faction of the HG world from equitable access to the
US airspace and the Peoples' lands.
-
USHGRS and FFFF have no official relationship.
-
In September of 2018 the forum at FFFF erased the
four messages of three years of the USHGRS's representative
and blocked the representative from any further participation
in that forum. Such is not a fun relationship. Most
of the erased posts are copied and hosted within US
Hawks forum for public review and discussion.
-
USHGRS mines FFFF public text to feed ratings certification
processes.
-
USHGRS invited the officers of that entity to join
in the conversation about changing to a FF hang gliding
scene where a certain category of park visitor is
equitably treated. One of the officers has joined
the core conversation
HERE
.
Circa Sept 2018.
-
USHGRS is active to have HG Pilots of all fair categories
to be not blocked by any FFFF action.
-
USHGRS has observers and reporters over actions of
HG Pilots that fly at FF for the feeding of data into
ratings' certification cases which is the core mission
of USHGRS.
-
Requested removal of ban from forum and reinstall
removed posts.

WHGA
-
USHGRS is on good terms with the WHGA.
-
WHGA posts a firm link on that the front page of WHGA's
website.
-
The founder of S-SA founded WHGA.
-
USHGRS has communicated with WHGA an encouragement
that WHGA aim to encourage each nation or state to
have some independent HG Pilot rating agency as USHGRS
is for US airspace. Independent of associations, businesses,
schools, instructors.

Energy Kite Systems
www.energykitesystems.net
-
There is a tight and close relationship between USHGRS
and EnergyKiteSystems.net as
the owners of both entities are the same.
-
EnergyKiteSystems hosts heavy files for USHGRS. EnergyKiteSystems.net
hosts heavy files for many other entities related
to recreational hang gliding.
-
Most of recreational hang gliding is a kind of kite
flying where the HG Pilot is the major kite system's
moving anchor tethered through kite line(s) to the
opposing kited wing; the net system is free-flight
kiting where the system glides.

USHGRS
-
What is the relationsip of USHGRS with itself? What
is its primary focus?
-
It is really happy with the opportunity to provide
a ratings certifcation service for recreating hang
glider pilots who use US airspace for their leaps
and flights into the sky.
-
Its primary focus:
make statements of ratings for HG pilot proficiency
that are backed by a robust certification process
on each case. Make such rating statement available
to the world via a few seconds of effort when one
is open to the Internet.
-
Some ride-along flows are treasured:
-
HG-interest enhancing via secondary page-cells content
-
Actions aimed at opening access points for individuals
to hang glide.
-
Serve resources useful for growing and maintaining
HG knowledge and skills.
