Training Programs

Introductory Lesson

SSA’s introductory lessons typically take an hour and include both ground and in-flight instruction in a 2-person glider with a highly qualified FAA-certified flight instructor. Before you take off, you will be taken through a pre-flight inspection and briefed on how the controls work. Then you will be towed to three thousand feet above the airport, and with assistance from your instructor you will operate the controls. Following the completion of the flight, you will receive a post-flight briefing and logbook endorsement.
