Gliders are even better for learning flight basics, do a better job of teaching you to anticipate and work with turbulence, and have a variable time limit.

Glider hours aren't going to count towards any useful type certification though? Unless you think someone is going to be qualified on a Twin Otter because of 1000 glider hours?

Perhaps not for a powered aircraft cert, but it's hours towards a license.

When people talk about trainer aircrafts, they aren't talking about type. None of the trainers count towards that.
