One presumes he wants an FAA Gliding Licence
Private Pilot-Glider
After solo, student pilots may qualify as a Private Pilot-Glider provided they:
Are at least 16 years of age; and
Have logged at least 10 hours of flight time in a glider and that flight time must include at least 20 total glider flights, and
Have 2 hours of solo flight time in a glider, and
Have passed the FAA written examination; and
Have passed the flight exam with a FAA Examiner.
It's in FAR61
It's somewhat different in the UK. Who said everything's easier in the US?
