Our club is based at Andreas airfield, an ex-wartime station situated on the northern plain of the Island. We are a small and friendly club. When you visit us, provided the weather is kind, it is almost certain that you will fly. (we don’t suffer from flying lists longer than the day is available to fly!). We fly most Sundays …weather permitting.
Although the Isle of Man is not part of the UK we are an associate member of the British Gliding Association (BGA). To find out more just call one of our members. We look forward to meeting you.
We offer very affordable access to the world of flying in the Isle of Man. An introductory flight/gift voucher just £80 (Available when we re start operations post Covid)

Gliding is a recreational activity and competitive air sport in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as gliders or sailplanes. The sport is clean and environmentally friendly using only thermal energy provided by the sun either directly from the heating of the ground or indirectly by the winds that pass over hills and mountains to remain airborne. The word soaring is also used for the sport which has its origins in the 1920s.
Great distances can be flown, flights of over 300km are regularly achieved in the UK with heights in excess of 30,000ft possible, all without and engine but by the skilful use of the energy that nature provides.
When we restart operations come and experience silent flight. You won’t forget it.
