    This question would be better suited for the RAF as they have different standards than the Army.

    Hi Pietro,

    Just to add on what Jordon has commented, there are no glider regiments or glider flying opportunities in the Army (outside of adventure training). The Army Air Corps would be the closest thing in the Army to what you're interested in. We are an aviation branch, focusing on rotary aircraft such as the Apache and Wildcat. We amalgamated with the Glider Pilot Regiment, so have a bit of history with gliders...

    You require zero qualifications for the role, so you can take a look on the Army jobs site below;

    Hope that helps, but as Jordon said, you would likely be better off looking at RAF opportunities.
