Regional Gliding School TutorialModules The Flying Scholarship PIP is divided into seven training modules, the tutorial module, a recommended reading module, the self test module, and a print handout module. Even if there is no obligation for you to complete the training modules in numerical order, it is recommended that you do so as they are designed in increased order of difficulty. You may also find some modules less challenging than others. However, all the information in each module is important. Each module may be accessed by going to the Airfield and clicking its corresponding pictogram. The recommended reading module is a link to pages from the Millennium Edition of the From The Ground Up. It is not mandatory for you to read them but doing so will certainly give you a great advantage for the exam. The self test module is several sample exams that closely resemble the one you will have to complete in order to be accepted on Glider or Flying Scholarship. It is a good measure of your understanding of all seven training modules. All these modules may be accessed from the Airfield.

Regional Gliding School TutorialConclusion Congratulations! You now know everything you need to challenge on to your first training module. There is no time limit to complete any module. The PIP is lengthy so proceed at your own pace and don’t wait until the last week before the exam. If you require any additional assistance contact your Commanding Officer who will then contact the Regional Cadet Air Operations Officer for your region. You may now proceed to the Airfield. GOOD LUCK!
