Trial Lessons

Trial lessons are the perfect way to see if gliding is for you. All of our prices include a 28 day temporary membership - letting you have further lessons within this time scale at reduced rates.

Trial lessons are usually paid for on the day of your visit, however it is possible to pay in advance by selecting from the drop down box opposite and choosing the type of the flight you want. After payment is received through Paypal a voucher will be sent to you.

Trial Lesson Options

The different vouchers/trial lessons available are:

  • Aerotow 2000 is a flight launched by tow plane to 2000 feet, which may last up to 20 minutes.
  • 'Mile High' is a flight launched by tow plane to 1 mile high (5280 feet), which may last around 45 minutes.
  • 'Introduction to Gliding Day is a small package of flights (2 x Winch & 2 x Aerotow) designed to be taken on one day.
  • In addition, trial lessons include temporary membership of the Club for 28 days, during which additional flights can be taken at 'club rates', as listed on the flying fees page of our website. All flight times are approximate, subject to the weather. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from date of purchase. We fly weekends and Wednesday's, subject to the weather.

    Training gliders have two seats, one for the Instructor and one for the pupil/passenger. We do not book visitor flights for numerous reasons, but people are not usually waiting long - it really depends upon the weather, how many others are waiting and what time you arrive - suggest late morning to be the best time to arrive, make yourself known to a club member and they will sort it from there!
