Gliding Course

​

£239
 

The perfect starter course if you are serious about trying gliding as a hobby. This introductory course to gliding will provide you with an in depth experience of gliding as you’ll cover everything from aircraft and airfield safety to the full range of flying techniques including take off, landing & thermalling.

​

You’ll be able to take the controls and by the end of the course, if you’re comfortable, will be actively flying much of the flight! One month club membership is included so you can return to the club to make full use of the fleet and continue your flying.

​

The course consists of ground school then at least 60 minutes flying with one of our instructors typically Thursdays.

​

(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.
