Hi all, I'm currently mid PPL training and was wondering if I could get my SPL alongside it?
I spent 2 years learning to fly gliders pre-covid during which I racked up 82 flights over 15 hours, of which 10 were solo over ~1.2 hours.
I looked up the SPL requirements and it says I need 10 hours of dual instruction, 2 hours solo and
a crosscountry, plus all the theory exams and a practical test.
If I'm doing the PPL ones too, how would the SPL theory exams work?
I read that
I'm confident on PPL requirements but for the SPL, would I just need the extra 1 hour solo (after shaking the rust off of course), plus some dual/solo training for crosscountry soaring? And then just the theory followed by the skills test to get the license? Or would the hours I did pre-covid not count anymore?
Thanks!
