You can start lessons with us and progress at your own pace until you receive an FAA Private Pilot Certificate with a Glider rating.
Most people take a few months to become certificated, scheduling one lesson per week.
If you want to expedite your training and take several lessons every day, you can be finished in as little as two weeks given optimum weather. A Private Pilot Certificate qualifies you to carry passengers, rent gliders here and at other gliderports, or fly your own sailplane. An intensive course of thirty flights, normally three in the morning and three more in the afternoon for five consecutive days. Usually sufficient to take the average individual with no flying experience to the solo stage, or from solo to the practical test for license. Also, normally sufficient for an experienced airplane pilot to add a glider rating.
