Re: Glider definition (span^2/weight)

Bob,

Here is the reference:

You have it backward it is Weight / span ^ 2 < 0.62

A while back I read an FAA definition of a glider (as
opposed to an airplane). I think it was an FAA document
that referenced JAR 22. One of the criteria was a
span squared over weight number (S^2/W). I can't find
this document. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
