Simulation-based Online Flight Training Experience – 2025-2026 – SOFTE (Part 2)
The overall purpose of the SOFTE initiative is to advance the sport of soaring by providing an additional source of cost effective, time efficient glider flight training. SOFTE (Part 2) is open to current members of the Soaring Society of America and its affiliated Clubs, Chapters, and Commercial Glider Operations, and focuses on the more advanced aspects of primary flight training for a glider category rating.
Registrants must have completed SOFTE (Part 1) via a prior webinar series or independent study or provide evidence of having soloed in an actual glider.
