Glider add on.....

Question: Can I "add on" gliders to a Sport Pilot ticket in the
same way I would to a ASEL certificate?
The short answer is yes.
Agreed, but..... But if you want to fly a Blanik (common training
glider) or an LS4, you're out of luck as the Sport Pilot rating limits
you to ships have a Vne (top speed) of 120 knots. You are also
restricted to the maximum altitude of 10,000 feet so no wave soaring for
you. See my web page on the topic, written for the students of the
Greater Boston Soaring Club at
