Furthermore, we train our members to be very safety-conscious at all times. The choice is yours. You will be given some Post-Solo training to hone your skills further and learn some more advanced gliding techniques. After that, you may take friends and family flying with you. But gliding is not only a matter of flying quietly around over Gawler and nearby areas, although this is a relaxing and enjoyable way to pass the time in the air.
Many members are also enthusiastic aerobatic and cross-country pilots.
The sense of achievement is what makes gliding so satisfying. Well, many of our pilots fly north and east of Gawler quite regularly. Flights of 300 to 500 kilometres are common and a number of pilots have flown in excess of 1,000 km s. Many glider pilots are quite competitive by nature. Some like to fly in competitions in SA and interstate.
