Learn to Fly This in 10 HOURS - Yes, really

Yes, you can become a pilot of a powered airplane and take passengers in just 10 hours of required flight time. What's the deal? The Private Pilot Glider rating. After learning about this rating, I couldn't believe it takes just HALF the time of becoming a Sport Pilot. All it requires is the airplane to be registered as a glider or motor glider. The Pipistrel Alpha Trainer can be registered as a light sport, homebuilt experimental, or motorglider. As a motorglider, you get all the perks of a light sport airplane in half of the flight training time. (Refer to FAR 61:109 and 61:129)

As a motorglider, you have many privileges that a sport pilot doesn't such as flying at night, taking more than 1 passenger, and flying higher than 10,000 feet.

While the Private Pilot Glider rating only requires 10 hours flight time by the FAA, Right Rudder Aviation will take the time you need to become safe and proficient.

If you think 10 hours is crazy, wait until you hear about FAR Part 103!

In 1963, at age 17, I took flying lessons at the Blairstown, N.J. airport ! In those days, a minimum of eight
hours of instruction was needed to acquire a 'solo' pilot's license, ( where you could fly w/o an instructor,
but not with a passenger.) The total cost for the eight or more hours of instruction was $100. After you
'soloed' you could rent a plane (Piper Cub or Aeronca Champion) for $8.00 an hour! What a difference!

My instructor always said - your certification is a license to learn. This is the beginning of the learning experience, not the end. Hope you’re passing that along to your students

Here's the thing about earning a pilot's license. People used to ask me, "How long does it take?" And I would ask, "Why does it matter? From the very first day, you're FLYING."

That's a big deal. It doesn't matter that it takes 40 hours (legally) or longer if you need it. What matters is from the very first day, you're flying. And sometime after about 8-15 hours, you're able to fly solo.

Your license gives you the chance to take passengers and fly at night without an instructor. Those are cool. But long before you have your license, you're having fun.

I'm glad I did the 40+ hours of training. Prepared me for several emergencies that I encountered over the years.

[kenhoward]

There's a big difference between attaining a license to fly (which is really a license to learn) and becoming an experienced, skilled, and safe pilot. I almost can't believe, or appreciate, someone being given the responsibility of a flight instructor so quickly.

[Richbund]

I believe one can learn to fly in 10 hours. Learning to handle emergencies, and critical situations requires much more training.

[rickhenry]

I've been instructing [in airplanes] for 46 years and never knew about this path to a pilot certificate or this learn-to-fly option. Very interesting! And looks like a lot of fun.

I had no clue about this as an option. I looked at gliding but had no clue about the motorized glider option and the benefits you showed us in this video. Thank you so much!

[keithwebb]

Flying a single engine basic trainer is pretty easy. Flying the rules, regulations, radio etiquette etc is way more complex. Weather adds to the mix. Well worth it though.

Don’t blame the school for this. They are following the FAA rules. If you don’t like it, complain to the FAA. The same principle applies to rich people who pay no taxes (legally). They are just taking advantage of the IRS rules. If you don’t like rich people paying little to no taxes, complain to the IRS. This is the same thing so don’t blame the school for putting together this kind of program.

My father was a military flight instructor in WW2. After he bought and sold aircraft. He flew everywhere. My two brothers and one sister have been pilots since the age of 16. I am the only that is not a pilot, but served and retired from the military. Now, at age 78, I wish that I had not turned down the Army's flight school for Special Forces.
Inspiring video🏆

[garrycompton]

Good Video - love Florida weather. I flew for over 20 years in Alaska and I bought my 170 in the mid 80s before learning to fly - I never was interested in learning to solo in 10 or 15 or even 20 hours - I was only interested in soloing when I felt ready. And I think this is the best way to look at it. Don't push it - you will know when you are ready.

[eastonnewman]

I'm so encouraged by this video! thank you!

"Ignition to off." Naw homie, I'm good! 😂😂😂

I moved to Inverness in March 69. I left 😢after HS to pursue my life in 71. I got my PPL in Brooksville because there was nothing at the Inverness airport. My God you made it absolutely outstanding! I am retiring in July and I will be taking my Cygnet Amphibian down in the winter to visit and reminisce. I will meet you soon Andy

[SimonAmazingClarke]

I learned to fly on gliders. I have some time in motorgliders and I have PPL training time. This licence looks perfect for me.

[Chris_at_Home]

I think I soloed in less than 15 hours. I bought a 7ECA Champ for 9 grand in 1984 and learned to fly it with a CFI friend teaching me. The radios and using other cockpit instruments were very familiar to me as I was an avionics tech on Navy Patrol aircraft not to many years before.

Soooo fun! I wish this was available when I was young. My friend had a Cesna 182. We went everywhere (California) I loved flying but never wanted the engine to turn off. 🙂 How fun!

Flying is easy.
Navigation, communication and meteorology is harder when you have to combine all four skills.
