If you have not flown before, some of the manoeuvres and co-ordination may seem a bit difficult at first. After a few flights however you will be making the sailplane do what you want it to do. Once you have mastered the essentials and begin flying solo you will find the best is yet to come. As your skills and confidence become more highly developed you will learn to head out on cross-country flights and perhaps enter soaring contests. Return to Index Pilot Training Training is available for all levels from novice to advanced and includes cross-country flying.
Training is done by suitably qualified volunteer instructors.
The launch fee is based on the length of time taken to tow the glider to the required height and varies depending on the type of tow aeroplane. The glider fee is based on the length of time of the overall flight and varies with the type of glider. The Club will maintain a Flying Account for each member which will record all payments made and flight costs charged. A statement of account will be provided on a regular basis and will list all flights made.
