We operate a fleet of two modern glass-fibre two seater dual control, training gliders.
On arrival at our airstrip at Feshiebridge a club member will assist you with the formalities, give an introductory brief about your trail lesson and show you to your dual control glider.
Safety always comes first and your flight will be carried out with a qualified gliding instructor.
You are then towed behind a 180 hp Robin light aircraft to a height of 2000’ at which point your instructor will release the towrope leaving your glider free to soar over the spectacular scenery of the Cairngorm mountain range, and Spey Valley.
You will then be invited to try the controls for yourself
Your trial lesson will last for approximately 20 to 30 minuets during which time you can take photographs and enjoy the unique experience of soaring as free as a bird after which your instructor will take you back for a smooth landing at Feshiebridge airstrip.

Trial lessons cannot be booked in advance, but we will do our best to fly you on the day if conditions are suitable.

It is best, in the first instance, to phone the club (01540 651317) at about 10.30 am on the proposed day of flying, or the launch point on 07847 214551 during the hours of operation to find out about weather conditions and club activity.
