Looking for information on glider programs for a commercial add on.

Not looking for a club but for an actual school.
 
Thank you! I followed this list and called every operation today that’s a commercial operation. I did speak to a few operations but most places are booked through April or may.
 
Don't know where you are located, but our two west coast places to go are Arizona Soaring/Estrella, and Williams Soaring (Northern CA).

Since you said you called them all, you probably already talked to them.
Arizona Soaring, Older (Schweizer) equipment and quite economical.
Williams Soaring, Nice new equipment and a bit more expensive as you would expect.

Hmm try Honolulu Soaring on the North Shore of Oahu?? :D
 
Sorry I’m located in Georgia. However I do have access to travel wherever for the glider add on .

This will at least help you narrow it down and get opinions. Otherwise you'll just hear who is everyone's favorites.

Isn’t that the same thing?




Williams is a good bet, good equipment and they get stuff done
 
Just saw the thread and noticed there is a glider group in Butler Ga, about 25 miles or so north of Americus. I may go check them out the next time I visit my daughter

You have a CFI Instrument Glider rating? Hmm, did not know it was a thing. Missed approaches must be difficult. :D :D :D

Think that tough, try holding altitude in IMC with timed approaches in progress.

I actually did pick up an IFR clearance in my glider a few years to fly in Class A airspace. Mostly did it just to see if I could, and ended up setting a state Altitude record of something like 19,600 feet. I didn't know it was record flight until after I did it.
