Gliding Courses

A short gliding course is ideal for those who not only want an extended experience of glider flight, but set themselves a challenge to make measurable progress towards taking control of the aircraft. By taking a number of successive flights your learning from each can be reinforced, allowing a progressive development of basic skills as a pilot.

Your course package includes dedicated use of a dual training glider and a BGA qualified instructor, a gliding information pack and training record, and 30 days of temporary club membership. This would allow you to return in the following month, and fly at club member rates with free instruction — advancing your flying skills further.

Half-Day Mini Course£85
Includes 3 launches on your selected flying day *
One-Day Mini Course£140
Includes 6 launches on your selected flying day *
Weekend Course
please contact the club for more details
*A soaring flight of more than 30 minutes duration will count as two launches

On arriving on the day of your course you will be introduced to your instructor, who will give you a briefing before flying. Courses will be individually tailored to suit your level of achievement and aptitude.
