Flying in formation behind your launch aircraft you reach 3000 feet, pull the release, peel off and trim to cruising speed. Experience the wonder of gliding, learning how to control the aircraft, banking left and right. This is flying in its purest form.
To start your gliding introductory flight, you will be met by the Duty Instructor and be shown around the glider and explained the controls. The fleet consists of modern two seat fibreglass sailplanes.
You are strapped in the front seat, with a qualified instructor in the rear and launched by a power plane to about 3,000 feet. The instructor conducts the launch and release and then (if you like) it will be your turn to try your hand at gliding.
Shallow and sharp turns, slow speed and high speed runs or just enjoy a peaceful flight over the countryside. The choice is yours. When it is time to land, see what it is like to join the circuit and do a pinpoint landing!
This will be followed by a debrief and your friends and family will be able to photograph your adventure.
For groups, please book your flying day in advance so extra aircraft can be made available. Due to the popularity of these flights there may be a waiting time of 4 to 6 weeks when you book.
In the event of rain or inclement weather, your experience will still go ahead unless contacted by the experience provider. If the experience is cancelled due to poor weather, you will be rescheduled by the experience provider directly.
It is recommended that you bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Customers will need to fill out and sign an Introductory Membership Application to the Gliding Federation of Australia and abide by those conditions.
This experience takes place in Gawler, SA.
