Two Flight Trial Lessons

£80.00

(Please note we only fly Monday to Friday)

Two flight course for one person in a two seat dual-controlled glider with an experienced qualified instructor. During the flights the instructor will show you how the controls work and you will have the opportunity to fly the glider. We can either do 2 short flights or if the conditions are right we can do a longer flight that can count as two launches but gives you more time to learn the basics of flying a glider. Weather permitting you will see the whole of London laid out before you and some of the beautiful Surrey countryside. Your voucher will be valid for 9 months. During the Covid 19 pandemic vouchers validity is extended to 12 months. Due to the design of our gliders, you may be unable to fly if your height exceeds 6′ 2” (1.88m) or if you weigh more than 15 stone (95 kg). We are unable to fly anyone under 13 years of age.

Description

If you enjoy your Trial Flight and want to learn to fly then we would welcome you back to teach you to fly a glider.

From a casual hobby, to an inexpensive way to fly, gliding is an exhilarating sport offering people of all ages, except the very young, the chance to experience silent, powerless flight with a British Gliding Association instructor, seeing the world from a bird’s point of view.

Gliders can fly for as long as there is lift, typically in the UK, this will mean using thermals. The best gliding days will allow for a glider to stay in the air from 9am through until sunset.

If you return to train then you will typically fly for between a few minutes (no thermals) and about half and hour. While training you will normally either get 1 long flight or 3 short flights to advance your flying.

  1. John Watts-Read (verified owner) –

    Really terrific experience. I had well over 30 minutes flying over my local area where I have lived for over 40 years. There were views over to London with the O2 Arena, Thames Barrier clearly visible. To the east there was Biggin Hill and to the south the Surrey Hills. Steve my pilot was great managing to find a thermal which allowed a prolonged flight. Many thanks.

      So glad you enjoyed your flight – we look forward to seeing you again soon.
