INTENSIVE COURSES - GET YOU SOLO

We offer an all-inclusive price for learning to fly solo in a glider. Anyone can learn to fly - if you can ride a bike, you can fly solo!

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.

Contact the office to find out more information. We will send you details about how to arrange the flying, how to find us and we'll provide some additional information about gliding in general. There are a few restrictions which are at the bottom of this page.

Important booking notes:

RESTRICTIONS

AGE: To go solo the pilot must be 16, but lessons can be taught from 14 upwards.  There is no upper age limit but please be aware that the participant will need sufficient dexterity to climb into and out of a glider.

SIZE:  Due to the configuration of the gliders and controls, minimum height is 5', maximum 6'4''.  Minimum weight is 7 stone, maximum 16 stone.

HEALTH:  It will not be possible for you to fly with an instructor if you suffer from epilepsy, fainting or certain physical or mental disabilities. There are additional requirements once you go solo, generally requiring your GP to sign a medical declaration; this is usually a simple process only requiring their signature. Contact the office if you require further information.

ALCOHOL: We are not able to fly anybody who is under the influence of alcohol.  The permissible levels for flying are much more stringent than for driving a car.  As a simple rule, please ensure that you do not have any alcohol before flying.
