To be a safe pilot requires flight skills, knowledge, and good judgment. A pilot must have a working knowledge of the glider, its systems, and the environment in which it operates. Memorizing the material to pass the FAA Knowledge Test is not sufficient. These courses create a strong foundation to allow students to become safe and proficient pilots.
