The course includes pre and
post flight briefings so that you can get the most from
your time in the air. Subject to weather, availability and
your own preferences, you will take up to 3 aerotows or 9
winch launches or a combination of both to provide between
45 and 60 minutes in the air. As gliding depends on mutual
help, you will be in a team of people including fellow
course members and full club members. The course fee includes all tuition, launching, flying and 3 months membership of the Club, during which time you can return for further flights at inclusive rates of £45 or £15 for aerotow and winch launches respectively.
We don't have any accommodation on site but we can recommend Offley Grove Farm at a special rate!

Gliders are limited in the height and weight of people they can carry - no more than 1.95m (6ft 5in) and 102kg (16 stones).
These flights are instructional and intended as an introduction to gliding. Whilst we do everything to make it as safe as possible, there is an element of risk inherent in any adventure sport such as gliding.
