Based on the official IGC Pilot Ranking List, Germany currently holds the top position.
While "best" can be subjective and depend on the specific type of flying being considered (e.g., military, commercial, glider), the IGC (FAI Gliding Commission) rankings offer a quantifiable metric for glider pilots based on their performance in competitions.
Here's a breakdown of the top countries according to the IGC rankings:
| Position | Country |
|---|---|
| 1 | Germany |
| 2 | Poland |
| 3 | Czech Republic |
| 4 | Great Britain |
It is important to note that this ranking focuses specifically on glider pilots and does not encompass all types of pilots or aviation disciplines. Different metrics and competitions would likely yield different results for other aviation sectors. Judging "best" is always somewhat subjective, but these rankings provide a data-driven perspective within the world of gliding.
