When to best train glider and power?

The time is take-off to landing, and the price is in Canadian $'s. $1
Canadian costs about $0.80 US.

Block time (one time payment for unlimited hours for the season) for SGS
1-26 & 1-23 for $300, and those plus a 1-34 and Grob CS 77 for $500. We use
a flight card system that records the times.

Where I fly in Canada (www.yorksoaring.com), the cost of training to a
glider pilot's licence is about $2,000 Canadian (US$1,600), and a private
pilot's licence power training cost is around 5 times that at about
$10,000 Canadian (US$8,000).

The glider training costs include club membership, tows and glider
rental. Instruction is free from volunteers. As for the youth, twice
each summer, the first two weeks of July and again the first two weeks of
August, we offer a Flight Camp where we take students from Ab Initio to
Licence, for about $1,600 Canadian (by now you can do the math). Our
club gliders rent from 30 to 50 cents a minute, and tows are $25.

Is that "dry tach"? Seriously, though, how is the time measured? Is it
"check out" time to "check in" time or is there some other kind of
instrumentation. As a power student pilot, I'm just curious.
