NOTES: Times required for ground glider handling and powered practice are estimated as some people are quick learners and others are not. The possibility of training depends on weather and can spread over many weeks or months if you can only train on weekends and your schedule is not flexible. The amount of flights one will manage is also estimated. There is a slight possibility that you will only manage hand full of flights if your skills are below average.
Flying foot launched PPG is quite demanding and requires good level
of fitness. To complete 30 flight and total 5 hrs of flight time in
your log book is a serious undertaking.
