Trial lessons

WANT TO TRY FLYING?

A trial lesson makes an ideal present for someone looking for an exciting new hobby or a one-off exhilarating experience.

The trial lesson consists of:

Groundschool

  • airfield safety briefing – how and where gliders take off and land, what to watch out for;
  • glider briefing – how it flies, function of controls and instruments;
  • parachute briefing – when, how and why to use it;

In the air

  • flight – depending on what you want from the lesson this may include you starting to control the glider in flight, or may be limited to a demonstration.

The whole experience lasts at least half an hour. Time in the air will vary between 5 and 15 minutes, limited by the conditions on the day.
