Primary training is performed in the club's SGS 2-33 two-place sailplane. This is an excellent aircraft for introduction to soaring flight. |

Can I get this training at Bardstown through the LSC? It depends on what you need. If you already have a glider rating, the club's instructors can provide the check out. If you have a power license, you can begin your training with the club, but would need to finish the add-on rating at another location. If you have no experience, at the present, it would be difficult, time consuming and frustrating. Currently we have two active instructors that are not available every weekend. They are professional pilots with varied work schedules. Our insurance company requires the instructors to be on the field for all solo flights made by a non glider-rated pilot. Also, we do not have a designated glider examiner in Kentucky. |

So what is the best way to obtain my glider rating? Many club members fly with our instructors for several flights, and then finish at a commercial glider school. If you already have a power plane license and a handful of glider flights, you can probably transition in five full days of soaring. |
