Advanced Training
Post license flight training and mentoring is oriented towards cross-country flight, FAI Badge flying, and competition racing, as well as moreadvanced FAA licenses. Cross country flying is one of the most rewarding experiences a pilot can have. Flying a silent, engineless aircraft long distance using nothing but a start from a 2,000 foot tow and the weather poses a challenge unique to soaring. It is also possible to further increase that challenge by competing in sailplane races to test your skills and your judgment against other pilots.
| After you accumulate time in gliders, you may someday even wish to pursue an additional glider rating. After the Private rating, the next step is a FAA Commercial Glider rating. After the commercial rating you may choose to even earn your Certified Flight Instructor - Glider rating so that you may teach others to soar. |  |
