Description

Costs of learning in a glider or sailplane are a fraction of learning to fly in powered aircraft. Certification is also typically faster, requiring just 10 hours of solo flight compared to 40 in powered aircraft. This makes it an ideal entry into flight, even for kids 12 and up. Once you are certified, inexpensive access to high-performance sailplanes is provided by local clubs.

Our introductory lessons are shown here, and are a great way to get off the ground on day one. If you have questions please contact us. Book your first lesson today, and we’ll see you in Hollister soon!
