Heads-up on getting the glider add-on to your dormant aircraft rating. As I understand it, you will run into some issues if you don't have a current flight review when you take your flight exam. It's a reverse loophole (adds restrictions, rather than adds relief), if you ask me, and is an unnecessary burden for someone who doesn't want to continue flying powered aircraft.

I did the add-on rating two years ago, and was 20 years out of currency. In order to satisfy the biannual review I did the Wings program. Once you complete one level that satisfies your biannual review and the glider check ride was no problem.

The Wings Program? I will have to research on that. I do not recall that program from my days flying the Saratoga. Live and learn!
