Default Glider rating near Sacramento

There is no 61.62 in my book maybe you mean 61.63(b)?
Requirements needed for the "additional glider rating" to meet 61.63 are
listed in
61.109(f)(2) and 61.107(b)(6).

Yes it says you only need 3 hours and 10 solo flights for the private level.
And many people who do the one week course may find they needed more hours
but it is still can be accomplished in a week.

I'm thinking about getting a glider rating for my BFR this summer. I
talked with one place in Truckee but was told it would take an entire
week to do.
Are there any places to do this that specalize in BFRs such that you
can fly much more per day in order to be done in a few intense days? I
just can't justify being away for an entire week for a BFR.

I'm thinking about getting an additional rating (glider) under
61.62 in lieu of a Flight Review under 61.65..........

Are there any flight schools that specialize in intensive glider
training, I just can't justify being away for an entire week for
an additional rating.


First....no such thing as a 'BFR' and then you misuse 'BFR' to
mean 'Rating' twice. I have no idea about how long a 'BFR' would
require, but a Flight Review can be done in a single afternoon.
