Burn Gliding Club has built a well respected reputation in glider pilot training and flying achievements over a number of decades. Our aim has always been to provide flying for all, at a reasonable cost. We have excellent, launch facilities and a variety of both single and two-seater club aircraft available to fly.

The club is situated just off the A19 near Selby in East Yorkshire. 

The entrance, signposted Gliding Club, is via Park Lane in Burn village, 1 mile south from the A63 Selby Bypass (2.5 miles south of Selby) and 5 miles north from J34 of the M62. The club is a staffed by qualified people who give their time on a voluntary basis which helps us keep the club's operating costs - and therefore flying costs - affordable.

Burn is an ex-World War II RAF Bomber Command Airfield and retains its original layout of three runways around a centre triangle. We offer flying training and solo launch facilities on Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. Each day starts at about 9 am when we unpack the hangar and prepare the gliders. Flying usually starts at, or before, 10am and continues up to 6 or 7pm, depending on the weather conditions and sunset time. We also offer gift vouchers for flights, 5 day intensive gliding training courses and group/evening visits - see price list for details.

As well as the comprehensive club fleet of twin and single seat gliders, we have a Pawnee tow aircraft for aerotow launches, two Tost winches capable of launching a glider to between 1000ft and 2000ft, a Venture motor glider, a launch point tea bus, a spacious clubhouse with wireless internet access and reasonably priced bar, as well as a warm and friendly atmosphere.
