Ever wondered what it is like to soar like bird? Ever wondered what keeps them in the air? Well now is your opportunity to soar above the Kildare countryside with Dublin Gliding Club, the largest gliding club in Ireland. Gliding is one of the purest forms of flight allowing you fly quietly, and gracefully using the energy around you.
On your initial flight you will fly in one of the club's dual seat trainers accompanied by your pilot, a fully qualified air experience instructor. After taking a launch to 3000' your flight duration is typically about 20 minutes (subject to conditions of course). On the ground and in the air your instructor will describe for you how various aspects of the flight will proceed and how a pilot controls the glider. During the flight you will get the opportunity to take control of the aircraft and fully experience what it is like to soar.
This package includes your introductory gliding lesson PLUS a full month’s membership of Dublin Gliding Club , allowing you to fly at the club rates for launches, logging all your flights towards becoming a fully fledged glider pilot. We fly at week-ends all year round and on Wednesday evenings during the Summer months (weather and daylight permitting). Gliders take off and land from the Dublin Gliding Club airstrip at Gowran Grange, Naas, Co. Kildare. Restrictions: Min age 15. Max height 6'2. Max weight 16st.
