Jason Depew joins this episode of More Right Rudder for an engaging discussion on gliders. We start the basics of how to obtain your glider ratings. From there you'll learn how you learning how to fly a glider will benefit your customers, rope breaks, and different types of gliders. We wrap up with a fun overview of the social slide of gliding. Check out these great resources Jason shares with our listeners:

https://www.ssa.org/ - the SSA is the NAFI/AOPA/EAA of soaring. https://www.ssa.org/where-to-fly-map/ - This is the SSA's directory of glider operations in the US. It's the best way to find a nearby place to fly gliders. https://www.ssa.org/soaring-scholarships/ - The next best resource on the SSA website is their list of scholarships. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/glider_handbook - The FAA's Glider Flying Handbook is a free PDF that goes nicely on an iPad and contains most of the knowledge a pilot needs to pass their checkride.
