Does anyone know what the requirements are to add a private pilot
airplane rating if you already have a private pilot glider? I know
the training requirements would be reduced for an airplane pilot
transitioning to glider but I dont know how it works going the other
way.... Does anyone have info on this?


theres not a lot of reduction in hourly requirements for the PP-ASEL
add on to the glider certificate. In fact, I dont know that there is
any gain. you can make some real gains towards your commercial
airplane and possibly instrument rating if you have many flights that
ended in a landing more than 50 nautical miles away from the departure
point. It is spelled out fairly well in Part 61.
