London Gliding Club

in one week

Are you sick of boring holidays? Has skiing losts its zing? Can't take another hot summers day queueing in a crowded airport for a delayed flight?

A one week course is the perfect remedy. This is the turbo charged route to being a fully fledged glider pilot. With on-site accomodation and a bar, why not bring a friend and have a proper break from the world?

Offered as either a Normal course, or an Intensive course you will be paired up with a full time resident instructor for the whole week. This ensures that every nuance of your flying is understood and the perfect training program is provided.

Our instructors are very experienced and can coach you on specific elements of flying as well - including cross country flying. It's not unusual for a new pilot to be almost solo by the end of their intensive course!

Prices from £320, please contact the office on 01582 663419 for more details
