A trial lesson is the perfect introduction to gliding.

On your initial flight you will fly in one of the club's dual seat trainers accompanied by your pilot, a fully qualified air experience instructor. After taking a launch to 3000' your flight duration is typically about 20 minutes (subject to conditions of course). On the ground and in the air your instructor will describe for you how various aspects of the flight will proceed and how a pilot controls the glider.

On any flying day during the period of your trial membership you may add your name to list of members to fly with an instructor. The log card you receive after your trial lesson contains the list of dual training exercises that all aspiring glider pilots complete. Before you know it you will be well started on the path to becoming a qualified glider pilot. (Find out more about gliding instruction).

We offer the following options.

We trust that you'll enjoy the sport as many have before so why not book a trial lesson by contacting us via telephone.
