Ground Training :
 

The Ground Training section of this site is here to give a guide to the basic skills needed by every glider pilot. Each section deals with an individual topic. Once you have been briefed on a particular subject, you will need to demonstrate your understanding to a mentor or instructor. If they are happy, the subject will be signed off and dated. The Ground Training Record can be printed and kept in your log book for your reference and also as an indication of how your training is progressing

To access each section, please click on the required topic.
