One of our highly experienced instructors will give you a ground briefing about your flight and what you will enjoy. They will explain how to fly a glider, covering such things as Effect of Controls and the sought of things a glider pilot is thinking about and doing during a flight. This will include how glider pilots use the weather and in particular the thermal conditions it creates to allow us to stay aloft without a motor and soar just like a bird. You will be invited to fly the glider yourself for as long or as little you would enjoy.

An Air Experience Flight is an ideal first-time experience of the sport of gliding and also make a unique gift for that special person.

AEF passengers must be prepared to sign a personal health declaration and disclaimer prior to being allowed to fly.

Passengers under the age of 18 required signed Parental or Guardian consent before flying.  If a valid parent or guardian will not be accompanying the passenger to the airfield on the day, then please fill out the form available HERE and forward to northqldsoaringcentre@outlook.com

If a flights ends after an unusually short time, for instance being forced to land because of weather conditions or other safety considerations, the club may choose to offer a second flight, free of charge and to the same passenger only.

Flights may be extended, conditions permitting, at the discretion of the instructor if requested by the passenger. Additional time beyond the included 30 minutes will be charged at $1.50 per minute, and payment is to be settled before departing the airfield on the day.  Flight extensions may not be possible on the day, due to weather conditions or glider demand, and cannot be booked in advance. Please discuss with the instructor prior to flying.

The charged rate for an AEF includes a required temporary membership with the Gliding Federation of Australia (gliding's regulatory body in Australia.) If a passenger elects to take any subsequent flights within the 30 day membership period, the flights will be charged at club member rates.
