Individualized instruction
is available. HDSC provides highly qualified instructors
and tow plane pilots allowing you to transition into soaring flight with
confidence
and safety. To become a Soaring Pilot, most beginners will need 18 to 25
dual lessons to
qualify for solo flight. Minimum age to
solo is 14, and a statement is required to
certify that you have no medical problems
to prevent you from piloting a
glider. Lessons may be 10 to 60 minutes
long, according to your instructor’s plan
and your abilities.
