Would you like to try gliding for yourself? Or maybe you want to treat someone to an experience that they will never forget. You can arrange the flight from Bidford Gliding, gliding silently over the Vale of Evesham and the glorious Cotswolds.

Trial Lessons                                                                                      

The first flight is known as a “Trial Lesson” and it provides an excellent opportunity to sample the delights of gliding. The flight is taken with a fully qualified BGA instructor, in a dual controlled glider or motor glider and lasts for around 15 - 45 minutes depending on your choice of voucher and weather conditions.  For those that wish a deeper understanding of gliding, we offer a One Day course giving 2 further flights with extra glider flying and fun, or alternatively our Accelerated Learner Package could be just the thing.  Click here to purchase a voucher.

 

The Day Of The Flight                                                                               

Trial Lessons are generally booked in advance. On arrival, after completing a membership form, the new pilot will be given a briefing by their instructor, which usually takes place near the glider. Then it’s time to get strapped in and ready for the launch.

 

 

Learning To Fly                                                                                         

As well as savouring the view and experience, the instructor will demonstrate how the controls fly the aircraft and encourage the new pilot to take over and enjoy all the fun and  freedom of flying. As the aircraft descends, the instructor will again take command and gently bring the glider back in to land.  Click here for further information on learning to glide.
