4 in WA state, and only one of them is actively teaching.
With the last revision USHPA did, I dont know how anyone can become in instructor.
I had everything done but the last test and missed the deadline. (I was so f---ing pissed!!!!!!!!!!!)
*** 40 hrs apprenticeship (between at least two instructors) on top of all the other requirements!!!
(That wont / cant happen in my state. There aren't even two actively instructing!!!!!!!)
Another nail in the coffin for hang gliding.....
