I apologize for not making it clear. I want to pursue a FAA private gliding license and the airport I'm looking at is in New Jersey, USA.

From what you guys have written, it seems that the 35 instructional and 35 solo flights are accurate and may vary slightly depending on my skill level.

I was told by an old gliding hand years ago, that if you double your age, that will give you an idea of how many launches you will need prior to be signed off solo... (Not signed off checks, just solo in the circuit). That assumed no prior flying experience.
Interesting!

Thanks much
