3000' tow with an instructor (approx. 15-20 minute flight time)
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.
