Coronavirus Update, 6th April 2020
Trial Lessons and Vouchers now valid until end of 2021
Most people have a secret desire to fly and gliding is one of the most exhilarating, affordable and inclusive ways of becoming a pilot and enjoying the sheer beauty and pleasure of silent flight.
It can be as exciting and challenging as you want it to be, and there are many diverse aspects to discover. There is quite a lot to learn, but that’s part of the fun.
During your training you’ll be guided through the process of learning to fly a glider through a mixture of briefings and airborne exercises, all provided by our British Gliding Associated qualified instructors.
There’s always a lot going on to support the flying activities – getting the various gliders, tow planes, vehicles etc. rigged, checked and ready, getting gliders into the air and doing a hundred and one other things that make up a day’s flying is a real team effort and very satisfying.
The fact that glider pilots rely on each other’s voluntary efforts to get airborne is key to why gliding is such a sociable activity compared with power flying which can be more a case of turn up, fly, go home.
No special level of fitness or technical ability is needed to fly a glider. If you’re fit enough to drive, you’re fit enough to glide and just as you don’t need to know anything about mechanics to drive a car, so you don’t need to be an aeronautics expert to fly a glider.
If after your introductory package you do want to progress further then the Learn to Fly package is an excellent way to take the next step. You’ll find that learn to fly a glider is quite often cheaper than learn to drive a car!
The link below will take you to the PayPal site where you can purchase your package.
We will then send you a voucher by post and this will be valid until the end of 2021. You can use the voucher to contact the club and book the start of your membership.
