Gliding
is the ultimate flying experience. It meets the needs of a diverse group
of people, a sport that can be enjoyed at all levels: from relaxation
on a quiet local flight, to experiencing the thrills of soaring across
the countryside, to the excitement of aerobatics, to the regional and
international racing competitions.
Gliders
soar using the same air currents that birds use to fly, but have also
been designed with the kind of aerodynamic efficiency that enables top
speeds of up to 260 kph. Distances of over 1200 km have been flown in
Australia and heights of over 40,000 feet have been reached. Gliding
gives you the freedom to explore the world from a unique birds eye view
whilst enjoying a safe and challenging sport.
Sport
for all ages - from those who fly solo on their 15th birthday through
to mature age groups. There is no upper age limit. Gliding is a silent
and graceful way of flying without an engine. You may wonder how you
get airborne, and how you stay up. You will find answers in
FAQ section.
