Question: Can I "add on" gliders to a Sport Pilot ticket in the

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
