The written exam requires extensive self-study or involvement in an online course. You have to take a written exam if you do not already have an airplane certificate. With a commitment of two lessons per week, almost all students complete the training program within one season or three months. Ideally, the program starts early in the season. For best results, we like to schedule two or more session per week. A typical session lasts for about two hours and is composed of ground school or preflight instructions, two or three flights and a post-flight debriefing. Instructors usually schedule one-on-one sessions. You may also take lessons at another airport. We will match you with an instructor who operates out of an airport closest to you. We operate out of four airports (Morgan County, Heber City, Nephi, and Logan-Cache Valley.). The combined weight of student, instructor and some gear must not exceed the useful load. Our gliders have a useful load of 400lbs or lower.
No medical is required but you must have no medical problems that would prevent you from safely operating a glider. The minimum age to earn a private pilots license is 16 years. You must be at least 14 years old before you can fly solo (without an instructor in the glider). Any training is provided by the instructors, and not Utah Soaring Association. Once you find an instructor or instructors to work with, you coordinate and pay them directly for their services (prices vary and are set by the instructors). If you are a new member joining the club we will help you connect with instructors who are currently accepting students. The club authorizes them to use club equipment for instruction and also helps establish a standard curriculum. The Utah Soaring Association has a number of club members who are willing to provide glider instruction.
