£65 per adult for aerotow launch and £15 per junior (under 21) for winch launch. For more information, please see our Tariff page.
When Can I Fly?
The club is open all year round except Christmas Day. Summer months April to October flying is possible every day of the week subject to weather. Trial Lessons can be taken all year round. In the winter months (November to March) you can fly on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, taking your turn in the queue, with others wishing to fly. In the summer months (April to October) Friday is a dedicated Trial Lesson Day, however, this would be on a first-come-first-served basis. Trial Lessons can also be taken on other days in the summer, but again you would have to take your turn on the flying list. Please check our Calendar Page or with the office (01903 742137), to avoid disappointment and to check operational status.
Do You Accept Credit Cards?
We can accept all major credit cards and debit cards.

Who Can Fly?
Although there is no age limit as such on taking Trial Lessons, young people must be old enough to accept instruction and tall enough to see out of the glider. An indemnity form must be completed before any flight, signed by a parent or legal guardian of any person under 18 years of age. Please avoid alcohol before your flight.
Am I too big or heavy?
Any pilot will tell you it is important to reach the rudder pedals. Generally speaking if you are taller than 4’8” or 1.42m you should be able to reach. However, if you are taller than 6’2” or 1.88m you may not fit inside the canopy. Also worth considering is your weight. Ballast can usually be added for people who weigh upto 8 stone/112lbs or 50kg, but you may not be able to fly if you weigh more than 18 stone/252lbs or 114kg.
Can I fly if I have a disability or handicap?
If in doubt about health or you have a physical handicap, consult your doctor or contact us for further guidance.
