4. Any tips on finding a school to begin lessons?

A very effective and efficient way to learn to fly is through the use of
co=
mputer-based flight simulation software. Training can be done at
home, on

your schedule, at considerably less cost, in much less time, and there
is
n=
o off-season. Unfortunately, very few glider clubs or commercial glider
op=
erations offer this mode of training.
That said, I do provide simulation-based training, at-a-distance (i.e.,
via=
the Internet), and I may be willing to take you and/or your daughter
on
as=
students. My services are free to those I elect to work with, and for
ref=
erence purposes I can connect you to one or more of the 70 persons I
have
t=
rained this way over the past 10 years.
Simulation-based flight training is not a complete course of instruction.

After learning most (80-90%) of what you need to know in simulation,
you
wo=
uld need to complete your training by applying your skills in an actual
air=
craft at a soaring club or commercial operation. However, showing up
pre-t=
rained will allow you to advance much more quickly through your
aircraft-ba=

If interested, feel free to contact me via my website "gliderCFI.com" or
ca=

Welcome to the sport.
Respectfully submitted for your consideration,

Do you have the evidence to prove this Scott, and if so how much of a
'time-saver' on real life flying does the computer based training make to
the average student?
