Flying in formation behind your launch aircraft you’ll reach 3000 feet, pull the release, peel off and trim to cruising speed. You’re now experiencing the wonder of unpowered flight, banking left and right and soaking up the marvel of flying in its purest form.
Your experience starts with a meet and greet followed by a briefing so you will have a full understanding of the experience to follow. From here it is straight into the good stuff – you’ll be strapped into the passenger seat ready for take off.
A qualified flight instructor will perform the launch and release and from here you will have the opportunity to take control of the glider with the guidance of the instructor. You will be flying in one of our modern twin seat fibreglass sailplanes with dual controls so you will be in safe hands.
- Briefing from Instructor
- Continued verbal instruction throughout your flight
- Certificate on completion of the flight
What to Bring
- Depending on the weather you may need to bring a hat, sunscreen and a bottle of water.
- Bring your camera to capture the panoramic views.
