Hi all,

A few questions for the instructors out there:

1) How long does it take the average ab-initio to reach solo standard in a
glider? I'm curious about both winch and aero-tow training.

2) How long does it take on average for a power pilot to reach solo in a
glider?

3) How long does it take for an ab-initio to each solo standard, if they
have access to a motor-glider to let them do touch-and-gos?

I suspect the answers will reveal if doing early training (particulary
circuits) in a powered aircraft makes any sense for someone whose long-term
goal is to fly gliders.

Cheers,

Al
