Gliding Flight Experience From Banbury Gliding Club

At Banbury Gliding Club, you can experience the sheer beauty & pleasure of silent flight. Our Gliding Flight Experiences make an excellent gift for any occasion – or simply a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Each flight involves a launch to 2,000 feet above the ground & can last up to 25 minutes depending on weather conditions. Your instructor will brief you on the ground beforehand about the glider, the flight & what to expect; you fly in the front cockpit of our two-seater glider & the instructor flies from the rear cockpit, which has full dual controls.

Description

This is a challenge that you can do
After release from the tug aircraft, the instructor will, if you wish, show you the effects of the controls on the glider’s path, & you may take control under their guidance.

In favourable conditions, the instructor may be able to guide the glider into rising air & you may climb in the ‘thermal’ up to the bottom of the clouds – giving you longer to take in the stunning Northamptonshire countryside.

Once closer to the ground, the instructor will explain how he is setting up for the approach & landing, for which you, in the front, have a grandstand view, bringing your gliding flight experience to a close.

The Flight Experience makes an ideal present, particularly for Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day & Father’s Day, as well as a taster for those wishing to experience flight or try something new.

All of our instructors are fully qualified British Gliding Association instructors & are also volunteers. They are fully passionate about this activity & love sharing their enthusiasm with our guests.
