There are special flying events. Members visit other gliding clubs, and members from other gliding clubs also visit the Winnipeg club. To maintain a high quality in its operation and beauty in the surroundings, there is always work of one kind or another to be done around the Club's field, be it with flight operations or with the facilities. Becoming a Glider Pilot To fly at the Winnipeg Gliding Club, a person must be 12 years of age or older. A minimum of 15 hours of ground school lectures must be attended.
Flight training consists of dual flight instruction and solo flying.
A candidate must demonstrate competence as a pilot and pass the Department of Transport written examination before a license is issued.
