Which element is included in a glider flight review?

• A. One hour of ground instruction
• B. Flight to traffic pattern altitude during three instruction flights
• C. Either one hour of ground and one hour of flight training, or three instruction flights including traffic pattern altitude
• D. Renewal every two years

Answer: (C)

A glider flight review can be completed in two ways that the regulations allow: either at least one hour of ground instruction plus at least one hour of flight instruction, or three instructional flights that include practicing at the traffic pattern altitude. This setup ensures you refresh both the knowledge portion and the practical handling skills in a way that fits your schedule. The option about renewing every two years describes how often a flight review must be renewed, not what is required to satisfy the review itself. The other path—three instructional flights including traffic pattern altitude—is the correct alternative to the ground-and-flight instruction path, since it specifies the required sequence of flights focused on the traffic pattern.
