change
direction. Gliding is
the closest thing you
will get to the flight of
a bird.Accompanied by a
fully qualified BGA
instructor in one of the
dual controlled gliders,
you will just love views
of the stunning scenery
over Dartmoor.It's up to
you whether you decide to

Aerotow Glider Trial Lesson
(2000 Feet) In Staffordshire

Gliding is a truly
diverse sport that can be
enjoyed by all. It is
one of the most beautiful
and absorbing ways of
flying. Even if this is
your first short flight,
this can be a memorable
experience. The
challenges and delights
of gliding continue to
enthral the most
experienced of pilots.
Using only the hidden
energy from the air and
hardly noticed from the
ground, a gliding flight
is truly remarkable. To
put it simply, gliders
are basically light
aircraft without the
engines. They have long
efficient wings and glide
from 20 to 60 times as
far as they can
descend. Your glider
will be towed up behind a
powerful light aircraft
and released at a height
of 2000 feet or more.
This is called
Aerotowing.

as elevator, aileron and
rudder, which will all
be demonstrated with you
