Flight Training

	Experience the Joy of Silent Flight A Soaring Adventure
Man has always dreamed of Freedom of Flight-	Watching the hawks and the eagles, haven't you wondered as they glide and turn silently, so gracefully.. How do they do it...and why? Imagine yourself up there soaring with an eagle in one of our motorgliders. There is no feeling like it - you feel so free, and it is so peaceful and quiet. The only sound is the wind whispering over the canopy. The view is spectacular! Now you will be able to understand why hawks and eagles fly and why we pilots fly again.. and again.
Is it safe?	Yes it is very safe, motorgliders are self launching gliders and have conventional ailerons, elevator, rudder and spoilers just like commercial airplanes. They are more maneuverable than most aircraft and can fly safely as low as 45 mph. They are regulated by the FAA and all pilots have to be FAA certified.
Flight Training Program	Our flight training program fulfills the requirements for FAA certification. It is complete in every detail and when the outlined syllabus is followed, you will easily succeed. Naturally, individual ratings vary, but most beginners will need 15 flights with a flight instructor to qualify for a solo flight. We train you to be a confident safe pilot.
To solo a Sailplane	You must be at least 14 years old and be competent to perform the maneuvers that will safely let you pilot a glider. After solo you must be at least 16 years old to earn your glider pilot certificate, which is required for carrying passengers. A written test is required of applicants with no airplane pilot certificate. 10 hours and 20 Solo flights are required in motorgliders before taking your flight test with an FAA examiner.
Power Plane Certified Pilots	The glider add-on can be completed after a minimum of 3 hours of flight training in a glider or motorglider. 10 solo flights are also required. A written test or medical are not required. The flight test will be conducted by an FAA examiner.
