Glider Pilot License

A Glider Pilot License is an official certification that authorizes an individual to pilot unpowered aircraft called gliders or sailplanes. It demonstrates that the pilot has met safety standards, understands aerodynamics and flight principles, and can operate a glider confidently. To obtain it, pilots usually undergo training, pass written exams, and demonstrate their flying skills through practical tests. This license ensures the pilot is qualified to fly solo, follow aviation regulations, and handle emergency situations, allowing them to enjoy and share the sport of gliding safely and legally.
