The main requirement is to be in good health and to have normally good reflexes. If you are an alert and competent car driver, you will most probably be able to learn gliding. The lower age limit is fifteen, and there is no upper limit, as long as you are in good health. There are hundreds of pilots well into their sixties, and some well over seventy. This will depend upon how long you take.
Younger pilots tend to learn quickly.
After solo, there are many more goals attainable to keep you interested and challenged. Trial instructional flights in a dual seat training glider are available. They will take you through an approved course covering all facets of glider flight to solo standard. From there further training is available to develop cross country, competition, instructional and aircraft maintenance skills as your interests and aptitude allows.
