Trail Lessons With Devon & Somerset Gliding Club

Description

The Devon & Somerset Gliding Club offers an opportunity so that members of the public can experience at first hand the thrill of silent flight.

Trial lessons are bookable on our normal Club flying days – Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday.

You can have a flight of approximately 15 – 20 minutes (max 30mins depending on weather) with an instructor in one of the club’s two-seater training aircraft. You can elect to take the controls yourself or just experience the sensations.

Depending on the weather you will experience ridge lift, soar in thermals, or perhaps fly in “wave” or simply float down from an aerotow. Either way it is the experience of a lifetime floating quietly & effortlessly above some of Devon’s most spectacular countryside. From a typical aerotow, as well as the local Blackdown Hills, Exmoor & Dartmoor, you can usually see both south & north Devon coasts & sometimes across to Wales.

Please make sure that you check the restrictions on pilot height & weight before purchasing a Trial Lesson voucher. Young people under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian’s written consent. Also there are a few medical conditions which may make it unsafe to fly.
