Default Training course

Last year I started my gliding pilot school in Croatia. 9 students attended the training with me, and we only had one old school glider K7 and one flight instructor. Because of this and many other circumstances that happened at the club, I was unable to meet the requirements for the exam (25 hours in air and 1 solo cross-country flight of at least 50 km). I managed to complete basic theoretical and practical training and did 40 take-offs and landings on dual command with instructor and about 40 short solo flights. I have launched K7, Pirat, Blanik and K8 with aerotow and winch. Due to human circumstances, the airport and the school where I started training are now closed, and I still need to collect hours in the air so that I can take the practical exam and get my GPL. The closest club where I can collect hours is located 150km from my residence in the neighbouring country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This club has a licensed flight instructor but does not have currently activated glider pilot training school. Since I have already completed basic theoretical and practical training and have done over 40 solo take-offs and landings is it sufficient for me (during flights and collecting hours for the exam) only to be supervised by an instructor from the ground in any club close to my residence?

Hello Ivana - that's a question better raised on the European forums. Croatia is an EU membership country and follows the EASA regulations while Bosnia-Herzegovina is not. You may be better off checking with flight schools in Slovenia, which is EU/EASA, too.
Good luck,

Uli
