GLIDING GIVE-IT-A-GO EXAM DE-STRESS

FREQUENT QUESTIONS!

What is it?

The exam de-stress giag is your opportunity to take to the skies and fly a glider at the cheapest rates possible. We will offer you winch launches and aero-tow launches.

When is it?

Friday 17th May, the group will travel down Friday around 1 pm, fly in the day and leave in the evening

Where is it?

The exam de-stress giag takes place at our home gliding club, The Gliding Centre based at Husband's Bosworth Airfield. This is about a 25-minute drive from campus. Don’t worry if you don’t have a car, we have plenty of willing drivers to take you flying!

How much does it cost?

The cost of the trip is £22 which will cover one winch launch with instruction. You will then be able to pay for an additional winch launch or an aerotow if you wish. The day has been kept as cost-effective as possible, provisionally an extra winch launch will cost £12, aerotow to 2000 ft ~£35.

What if I want to fly after the give-it-a-go?

We hope you enjoy the day and want to join us after you’ve flown! If you do, you must buy the annual membership for £40 on our SU page. After that, flying is available almost every day of the summer that the weather allows, plus trips to other airfields throughout the year!

Due to UoL Gliding wanting to give everyone the best experience possible, the event could be postponed should the weather conditions be unsafe such as strong gusts. (we're not ryanair- we actually want to offer smooth flights)
