Advanced Gliding Courses From Cotswold Gliding Club On AvPay
If you have done a beginners course, the advanced course takes you through to that next stage of going solo in the club gliders. Also, many people enter gliding having already learnt to fly powered aircraft or are returning after some years away from the sport so the advanced course gets them quickly orientated & flying on their own as soon as possible.

Gliding Club Services can be booked and paid for through AvPay. Gliding Clubs are typically run by volunteers on a non-profit basis. Taking this into account and given you don’t need fuel to fly a glider, gliding can be one of the most cost-effective ways of getting in the air. No two flights are ever the same in a glider, since you always have to be on the lookout for different ways to keep your aircraft aloft, be it thermal soaring, ridge soaring or wave soaring. There are 3 ways to get your glider airborne. The first is by a winch, where a winch located at the end of the upwind-side of an airfield pulls-in a cable rapidly, thus allowing the glider to accelerate and climb. The second is via a bungee chord, which launches the glider from a hillside. The third is via aerotow, whereby a powered aircraft tows the glider via a cable to its release height.
