Trial lesson in a glider - Aerotow to 2000ft at Wycombe

After a full safety brefing and explanation of how a glider flies and how the dual controls work you will be strapped in ready for the tug to tow you to 2,000ft. Once airborne you will have chance to take the controls.

This experience will last a total of approx. 1 hour, with approx. 20 minutes spent in the air. (We don't compromise on your time in the air. When comparing us with others, check the small print and the time actually spent in the air.)

Experience the purest most natural way to fly.
Have you ever looked up and seen a glider soaring like a bird on Nature's natural energy? You too could be up there.
Whether as an introduction to the world of gliding or just a fantastic treat you will discover the magic of gliding flight; try your hand at the controls and if you are lucky maybe even soar with red kites!
On arrival you will be given a full safety briefing.
You will be introduced to your instructor, who will explain how the glider works, including the operation of the dual controls, and help you get strapped in. The length of your flight depends on the weather.
Your instructor will ensure that you get best value out of your flight, expect to spend 15-20 minutes in the air, longer on a good day. Your instructor will demonstrate the use of the controls and you will be able to take control and fly the glider yourself. This is a great way to experience the joy of soaring over the local countryside. Includes 3 months' trial membership.
