Converting a Private-Pilot License (PPL)
Converting a Private-Pilot License (PPL)
Flight training is included in a membership and is done by other members who have their glider-pilot flight-instructor rating.
Embedded Files
If you have a PPL, no ground-school course or test is required. The minimum flight training time is 3+ hrs including
1+ hrs of dual flight training, and
2+ hrs and 20+ solo flights.
A current PPL allows you to solo. A non-current PPL requires passing the PSTAR with 90% so our TC Authorize Person (AP) can issue a student pilot permit (SPP). Our instructors will solo and flight test you as soon as you are ready. At the end, our AP will help with the paperwork and issue temporary privileges so you can immediately fly as a licensed glider pilot.
Note that all category 4 and higher medicals are good for five years for use with a SPP or glider pilot license (GPL) regardless of your age.
