Wednesday evenings from May to July.

​

This is an unforgettable way to spend an evening with a group of friends, family or colleagues. Following your airfield safety and glider flight briefings you’ll each take two winch launches in one of our twin seat, dual controlled gliders to approximately 1,000 feet, from where you’ll have a great view over our beautiful Suffolk countryside.

​

Your instructor will demonstrate how the controls work and, if you’d like to, you get the opportunity to have a go at flying the glider yourself. Then continue taking in the views whilst your instructor lands the glider. Following your flights return to the clubhouse to enjoy a drink and to share stories.

Gliding is more sensitive to weather conditions than flying in a commercial airliner.  Gliding is an adventurous air sport and as such is not as safe as travelling on a commercial airliner.  Gliding clubs operate under carefully developed safety requirements. If you are looking for a totally risk free sport, gliding may not be right for you. The CAA provides guidance on flying in general aviation aircraft here.

Max pilot weight 103kg.
