learning
Following national training standards, a pilot who learns at LGC will be confident of flying and landing anywhere. Mastering the basics isn't the end of the sport either; advanced cross country and aerobatics training are readily available.
It typically takes 50-80 flights to go solo. Doing an intensive week course will greatly accelerate your learning.
