thanx Judy.. I had always wondered about that.. I'll look through those
references... but does that also means it's "solo", and not a pax carrying
flight.. regardless of standard or experimental aircraft certifications?

please provide FARs you refer to that allow anything
more than the above.


Actually, the endorsement given a rated airplane pilot
when he/she is ready to solo a glider does NOT include
a 90-day time limit. It appears you're thinking of
61.87(l)(2), which applies only to holders of student
pilot certificates. (See 61.81, defining the applicability
of Subpart C, 61.81 through 61.95 inclusive.)

The airplane rated pilot would be endorsed for glider
solo under 61.31(d) and unless the CFI-G takes it upon
him/herself to include a time limitation there is none.
