Once or twice a year I like to head out to our local glider port, or hit up the one in Durango, CO and get my aerobatic thrills for an hour or so. So far I've considered them as just rides and not any actual instruction. Which got me to thinking...
If the next glider ride I take and I'm still under the student PPL umbrella, can I go ahead and take the next ride as actual instruction and log that time towards a glider rating?
Here's one of the regs I'm referring too...
Holders of a valid FAA Power plane license with 40 hours as pilot-in-command need a minimum of 10 solo flights to qualify to take the glider flight test. No written exam is required to add a glider rating to a power license. In all cases, refer to the Federal Aviation Regulations for details on pilot licensing.
If I can legally log the hours as dual glider instruction towards the rating, do I log them in my regular PPL logbook and notate that these hours were for glider, or do I keep a separate logbook for glider only? Just curious...
