For pilots with some previous power flying experience - improve your flying skills while discovering a new dimension in aviation!  Depending on your level of experience, this course could get you solo on gliders. 

To ensure we have the gliders, tugs and instructors available, all lessons require prebooking. Between April and October we fly seven days a week, weather permitting, including weekday evenings. During the winter we're open from Wednesday to Sunday.
