Young Aviators

You can do this.

We’ve taught countless young people the joy of gliding, some as young as 11 years old. If you’re young, have an interest and a dedication to learn, you can become a glider pilot.

The FAA Glider Age Rules:

  • You must be at least 14 years of age to solo a glider.

  • You must be at least 16 years of age to get a glider private pilot license.

  • You must pass a knowledge (written) test.

  • You must pass a practical (oral and flight) test with an FAA designated pilot examiner.
