CONVERSION TRAINING

 

PPL, Paraglider or Hang Glider pilot conversions.  The Basic Training Course will suit pilots who are already competent on other types of aircraft.  You will improve your flying skills while discovering a new dimension in aviation.  Depending on your level of experience, this course could get you solo on gliders. 

Lessons are bookable, which enables us to make sure that we have the gliders, tugs and instructors available.  Gliding is constrained by the weather though, so there may be occasions when you'll have to wait a little while to fly.  We fly seven days a week (weather permitting) and, from Spring through to Autumn, we operate on weekday evenings as well.

After buying the course online, we will send you details about how to arrange for the flying, how to find us and we'll provide some additional information about gliding in general. There are a few restrictions which are at the bottom of this page.

Basic Training Course

This course includes 28,000ft of aerotow height which will typically provide 14 lessons along with 3 months club membership.

Instructional training, course book and log book included.

This package is available for £595
