This friendly aero club is at 970ft above sea level at the foot of the Black Mountains in Powys a gliding mecca for those in the know. The unique topography of the area around the airfield means that average flight times from Talgarth Airfield are some of the longest in the whole of the UK as you can catch thermal mountain & ridge lifts all keeping you soaring & gaining height for as long as possible. In fact the record altitude from this unique mountain setting is a head-spinning 32000ft! There are four options to choose from at this glider club
- one-to-one sessions for between one & three tows or an experience for two where each of you will receive an individual flight. All sessions include tuition & instruction before you get towed up by the club's Pawnee tug plane & released. There thousands of feet up in your own glider you'll experience the full majesty of the Black Mountains as you glide over the Brecon Beacons National Park in a silent graceful flight back down to earth. All of the Black Mountains glider flights last a minimum of 20 minutes but thanks to the aforementioned thermals airtime is frequently much longer. Because all the gliders are dual control this isn't just a pleasure flight

Every Black Mountains instructor is fully BGA (British Gliding Association) qualified & the great advantage of this venue is that the club is open all year round so you can opt for a flight over the snow-capped mountains in winter or take in a stunning Welsh sunset during the long summer days.

Gliding in Lincolnshire comes in three guises: you can be towed up by a tug plane you can be winched up on a cable or you can propel yourselves up into the blue skies of Lincolnshire in a glider with its own motor. All are great ways to see the patchwork quilt countryside of the East Midlands & we've got a full range of flight options available for you. he flight & aircraft type for these experiences at Saltby Airfield in Lincolnshire will be chosen by your instructor on the day primarily to suit your needs as well as taking into account things like weather equipment & pilot availability. We are offering the Introductory Flight taster the Glider Lesson option that gives you around 20 minutes of airborne time (one flight or spread across multiple flights) & the one day course giving you a full day at this Lincolnshire aerodrome with two or more flights. The winch tow offers a quicker launch to a lower altitude. You'll then be able to enjoy a smooth leisurely flight back to the airfield
- but be warned your ascent is anything but slow & gentle! The winches take you from 0-60 mph in around three seconds providing a blast of adrenaline before allowing you to take in the spectacular views that a glider flight in Lincolnshire offers at a slightly more sedate pace. On aerotows the club's tug plane takes you up to around 1 500-2 000ft before detaching leaving your gliding soundlessly across the Lincolnshire skies as your instructor explains & demonstrates the controls of this elegant aircraft. & finally for a spot of gliding at this Lincs airfield with a difference there's the glider with a motor. This self-propelled aircraft still looks like a traditional sailplane with the large wingspan but it is equipped with a motor & propeller. That means you actually take off like a standard light aircraft before gaining altitude & then turning the engine off to then glide gracefully back down to earth. As well as the flexibility with flight times & aircraft this club plays another ace card by operating seven days a week (weather depending). It is also handily located near to the motorways & major A-roads making gliding in Lincolnshire accessible for glider fans from all over the East Midlands.
