Is there a general consensus on which schools are regarded as the "best" for glider training? I realize this is difficult to compare, as there are lots of good instructors all over the place, but if someone were interested in taking a block of time off and going somewhere to learn how to fly gliders and get there license to do so privately, where would you recommend?


If you want to do it in the next couple of months (the southern summer) then come to the Wellington Gliding Club, now operating from a dedicated gliding field at Greytown. Training is in a pair of 18m DG1000, with a SkyLaunch winch to get off the ground.
