Bookable Lessons

New from August 2006 Kent Gliding Club offers a fastrack to your first solo.

It is now possible to book a glider and instructor for a morning or afternoon. Call the office for details


Holiday Courses

These give you an opportunity to have an enjoyable holiday combined with an intensive week of training along with other people wanting to fly. During the week you will progress a long way towards going solo.

Imagine a small group of people with the same basic wish of learning to fly, with an experienced professional instructor who will take a personal interest in you and your flying ambitions.
We can offer you clean, comfortable, accommodation in our clubhouse or provide you with a list of local bed and breakfast accommodation. At the end of the day a welcome drink in the bar provides the chance to talk over the excitements of the day. This is where real progress can be made, developing a camaraderie which you will remember most.


Day Courses

You may not have the time to commit yourself to a full week of glider training. You may wish to consider a day course instead. For quite a modest fee you can enjoy a full days' instruction, starting with a briefing, then an aerotow launch and up to three winch launches. Many people feel that such a day is the most cost effective introduction to gliding.
Day and consecutive day courses are held at the club during most weeks of the summer.


Club Flying

Available for club members we operate 7 days a week during the summer, training is provided at the weekend, Wednesday, and Tuesday summer evenings. At other times by prior arrangement. Your training follows a standardised programme with our BGA qualified instructors.
