Taster Flight

 

£49
 

A taster flight on our visitor days will give you an amazing experience and feel for gliding. You will get a full safety and aircraft briefing, an instructed winch launch to approximately 1000ft and up to 5 minutes on the controls to give you a really good feel for learning to fly.

​

Your instructor will demonstrate the take off and landing as they do it.  If you wish, they will hand over the controls to you during the flight so you can feel the true freedom of gliding for yourself. 

​

(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.
