Soaring Safety Foundation

The major goals of the Soaring Safety Foundation include:

  • Reducing the accident rate in soaring
  • Increasing pilot awareness of soaring safety issues
  • Disseminating training information and material

This site is an important component of that mandate and consists of two broad categories:

  1. Education Opportunities:
    Flying gliders is a life-long learning activity. This site provides the pilot (student to instructor) with access to training material and computer aided training courses to encourage this behavior

  2. Safety Information:
    The dynamic nature of our sport means that new safety bulletins, notices, and regulatory changes occur on a regular basis. This site provides pilots with access to important safety material.
