WHAT IS AN AIR EXPERIENCE FLIGHT?
We are keen to introduce as many people as possible to the sport of gliding. Our Air Experience programme is aimed at giving people who are interested in flying and in learning to fly their first flight in a glider. We include the opportunity to begin flight instruction during a three months trial membership that is included with the Air Experience package. Our mission is that candidates will fall in love with gliding and become long term members after their trial membership ends.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN AIR EXPERIENCE FLIGHT?
You will usually sit in the front seat of a dual control glider (or sometimes, in the rear seat) with an experienced pilot at the controls. The glider will be towed to altitude behind our powered towplane. Your pilot will release the tow rope and once the glider is flying free your pilot will demonstrate how the controls work and manoeuvre the glider for you. You can ask lots of questions or just sit back and enjoy the panoramic view. Your flight may be expected to last from twelve to twenty minutes.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
The Air Experience Flight costs €160 and that price includes three months trial membership of our club. As a trial member you may purchase further flights at members’ rates; the average flight costs €41 (the price varies by time in the air). Gliding Club members are not charged extra for training.
