All the regulations are on the CASA web site.
You need to have a good look at CAR5, particularly CAR 5.84
Make certain your Glider record is well substantiated, maybe a letter from the BGA or where you did your flying, as well as a logbook, with the letters/entries signed/certified by somebody suitably official.
You will find out that quite a lot of glider time will count, wherever you do the PPL training, you will find a rule that gives some flexibility to the CFI when it comes to assessing the various bits and pieces that make up the requirements for the PPL- What that means is quite a lot of glider time can count, but it is not fixed, it’s between you, your CFI and CASA. If you find a CFI that say otherwise, go somewhere else.
I have yet to meet a glider pilot who didn’t make mincemeat of the basic power flying standards in double quick time.
Tootle pip!!
