Gliding Experience

 

£159

​

 

Take a unique flight experience to 3000ft* above the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The day will start with a full safety and flight briefing with a British Gliding Association qualified instructor who will then show you around your glider.

​

You’ll then take an aerotow (instructor will be in control) to release height where, if you feel comfortable, you’ll be given the opportunity to take the controls and experience the thrill of flying yourself (the instructor will show you how – it’s easier than you might think).

​

Your instructor will land the glider and de-brief you on your flight.

​

For students under 21 in full-time education we offer a 10% reduction, use coupon code ‘Student’ when checking out.

(Vouchers are normally digital, however physical ones can be posted to you on request – please let us know.  Booking is essential.)

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.
