Come Fly With Us!
Join us for an Air Experience Flight, an introduction to the world of soaring in gliders.
These flights allow you to experience flight in a glider and to take the first steps toward flying one yourself should you choose. There is no pressure to do so, but if you would like to use the basic controls while at a safe height, your instructor will assist you to do so.
When?
Our main flying season is from September through to April, when longer daylight hours and hotter conditions generate thermals (updrafts) that allow us to gain height and use that altitude to travel. Blue skies with fluffy clouds are typical on these days.
We normally operate on weekends and public holidays, but can also offer flights mid week by arrangement. All flights are subject to the availability of:
Suitable weather conditions
Gliders
Instructors
Generally the best time to fly is between 12:00 midday and around 3:00 pm although you can get good flights outside these times depending on the weather.
We offer the following introductory flights
We offer the following introductory flights
15 Minutes: Winch launch and circuit nearby airport of between 10 – 15 minutes flight time.

If conditions permit longer flights and we have capacity it is possible to extend your flight. You can discuss this with your instructor before and during the flight.
