Learn To Soar
Soar Truckee offers certified flight instruction, tow-planes, and a complete soaring educational curriculum. We use flight training manuals from GliderBooks.com. An introductory lesson will allow you a real, "hands-on" flying experience, and will give you the opportunity to ask your instructor any questions you may have about the sport.
Beginner Training
You can fly by yourself, "solo", as young as 14 years of age, but you can begin training as young as 12.
Typically, 30 to 50 glider flights, and some ground instruction are required to solo.
With frequent lessons and dedication, you could solo in one to two months.

Introductory Lesson
It's a scenic flight adventure with a twist.
You will fly with a Certified Flight Instructor who will do the take-off, tow and landing.
After demonstrating some flight maneuvers, you will get to fly the glider!
After the flight, your instructor will record your flight in your (new) log book.

Glider Add -On for Power Pilots
Add a private or commercial glider rating!
Gliders are extremely efficient flying machines without engines. They are elegant, simple, and sleek and very quiet, the only noises being the variometer audio, occasional radio chatter, and the gentle whoosh of the wind.
