People invariably ask "How long does it take to become a
hang glider pilot?"
That is about the same as asking "How long will it take me to learn to
play a guitar?".
You will probably be flying and be a pilot the first day on the hill.
How
soon you will be able to be on your own, properly evaluating
conditions,
responding properly to the varying conditions that you encounter in
flight
varies with each individual. It helps to fly as often as possible. The
more
you fly, the better you get and the closer you get to that first
mountain
flight. Just remember that if you jump ahead of your
competence/confidence
level, you may either hurt yourself or, (possibly worse), start to fear
that
fantastic world we live for---flight with nothing getting us high but
our skills and nature.
Before you chose an instruction source, consider
that the quick way may not be the best. I'd love to find out how to
prepare a pilot well for all that can be tossed at them by an
infinitely variable nature in 5 (or so) lessons. You will invariably
see the better trained new pilot getting many times the hours of
airtime of the "We'll get you off the mountain quickly" pilot. Often it
takes the pilot that took the shortcuts years to catch up -- if they
ever do.
