To keep the pilot up longer.
Glider Pilot Regiment was created in 1942.
Glider Pilot Regiment ended in 1957.
Cliffs warmed by the sun are good for glider pilots because it keeps them up. This happens with a process called thermal radiation. This is when the heat from the sun energy radiates. Thermal Radiation can also be heat from the sun bouncing off something, because the heat that bounces off that thing is thermally radiating through the air. This process can also happen with glider piloting. When the heat from the sun bounces on a cliff, it warms the cliff. This heat then bounces off it and creates a draft. The draft radiates in the air until it reaches the glider pilot and it then keeps the glider pilot up. This is why glider pilots have to be near a cliff or mountain to stay in the air. If they didn't do this or this process wasn't done. Eventually the glider pilot will fall and will be severely injured. So this process is really important for all things not just glider pilots.
The motto of Glider Pilot Regiment is 'Nihil est Impossibilis'.

Well most importantly, you would need a glider.
I think that a hang glider achieves flight by soaring through the air by getting a running start and the wings also help it to fly.Kiana xoxoxox
For a regular glider or sailplane, you must be 16 or older to get your pilot's license. For a powered airplane, you must be 17 or older.To solo a glider (fly by yourself, without an instructor), you must be at least 14, hold a student pilot certificate, and have an endorsement from your flight instructor.
Hang Glider
The pilot does this by shifting their weight to the left or right. This drops the wing tip on that side and the glider turns in that direction.
Aborted take-off such as might result from engine failure.
