Its aircraft and their safety record from the FAA register and the NTSB
6 aircraft are registered to Chicago Glider Club today, mostly Alexander Schleicher ASK 21. Built between 1987 and 2019; half of them in 1999 or earlier, so the typical one is about 27 years old.
All 6 aircraft, each with its own page
The NTSB recorded no accident or incident involving these aircraft in the last 10 years.
Only the aircraft registered to Chicago Glider Club today are counted, wherever they were flying and whoever was flying them, including any accident before the school owned them; aircraft a school leases from their owners are registered to those owners and are not. A school that flies more hours will show more; nobody publishes those hours, so this is a record, not a score. Compare with the other training organisations in Illinois.

This entry comes from the FAA aircraft register (October 22, 2026). The FAA publishes no downloadable list of flight schools (its online finder covers only certificated Part 141 schools), so a company is listed here when its name says what it does.
