Gliding Introductory Flight

To start your gliding introductory flight, you will be met by the Duty Instructor and be shown around the glider and explained the controls. Our fleet consists of modern two seat fibreglass Grob 103 sailplanes. You are strapped in the front seat, with a qualified instructor in the rear and launched by a power plane to about 3,000 feet.

The instructor conducts the launch and release and then (if you like) it will be your turn to try your hand at gliding. Shallow and sharp turns, slow speed and high speed runs or just enjoy a peaceful flight over the countryside. The choice is yours.

When it is time to land, see what it is like to join the circuit and do a pinpoint landing! This will be followed by a debrief and your friends and family will be able to photograph your adventure.
