🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 😂😂😂 6:30 however, it doesn't mean you won't get run over 💀💀💀 Specific clearance - we can fly IFR, if properly equipped in the aircraft, properly certified instrument rating, and an IPC for glider instrument flying, and then receiving an IFR clearance. See FAR 61 for pilot IPC requirements. There's proficiency rules because.... its not illegal.
Indeed. However, very few gliders (but not zero) are legal for IFR. If you request an IFR clearance ATC has to assume you’ve met all the other requirements.
No. The rules of the wave window spell,out whats required. You are not operating under IFR in a wave window. Now some glider pilots have gotten personal agreements to conduct glider flights in class A airspace, but it’s rare and they may be under IFR and the glider is well equipped.

Does a glider pilot still need an instrument rating in class A airspace even when cleared with a wave window ?
