You will then work on a simulator to get a feel for how a glider flies. You will learn how to rig and de- rig a glider before doing some short runs with the glider; your feet will be on on the ground but the glider will be catching air and you will be starting to learn how to handle a glider. The fun really starts when you are attached to the winch - the winch is at one end of the airfield and you & your glider at the other; the speed the winch pulls you at determines how high & fast you fly. You will start off being pulled for some short hops and as your skill and confidence builds you will progress to longer flights. By the end of this great day you can expect to be doing short flights where you will be 15 - 20ft in the air. Please note: Progress is dependent on the individual student and wind strength.
