The Scottish Gliding Centre Gliding Courses
The Scottish Gliding Centre offers a complete range of gliding courses to suit
your availability, experience level and pocket. For the complete novice you could perhaps
try a trial flight to see what it's all about.
Alternatively you could consider a half-day course which
will enable you to get over your first natural feelings of amazement and really start to
find out what flying a glider is all about. The popular (very popular - it is usually
oversubscribed!) evening flying course is intended to take absolute
beginners ('ab-initios' in gliding language) up to or towards solo standard depending on your
aptitude.
In addition to these courses the SGC offers 1- and 5-day courses
for pilots of any experience
level and whilst these are frequently chosen by ab-initios, or for an adventure holiday,
they can be tailored to suit
early solo pilots, those aspiring to bronze badge, embryonic cross-country pilots etc.
All training is carried out in the Scottish Gliding Centre's modern, rugged, 2-seater, dual-control, high-performance gliders under the supervision of experienced British Gliding Association (BGA) qualified instructors and follows the BGA's syllabus. Have a look at the web pages for the various courses and if you have any questions or if you want to discuss what's right for you, please contact the club.
