Trial lessons

Fly with a qualified instructor in a two-seat dual-control glider. You will be towed into the air by an aeroplane and at an appropriate height, typically 2000 feet, the instructor will release the towrope and you will be gliding. You will be shown how to operate the controls and will be given "hands-on" control of the glider under the watchful eye of the instructor. Your lesson will last from around 20 minutes upwards according to soaring conditions, however club gliders are usually limited to a maximum of one hour as there is often another student waiting. Look in "The Sport" section and under "Gliding explained" for more details about your trial lesson. The club operates in accordance with the The British Gliding Association's Code of Practice and maintains the recommended insurance.
