Air Experience Flights

We offer two types of Air Experience Flights - Standard and Deluxe - and the Aviator Starter Pack 

An Air Experience Flight can offer a basic lesson in the controls of a glider and allows the passenger to have a go at flying the glider under the guidance of an instructor. The passenger must sign the Gliding Federation of Australia introductory membership form.

• Standard ($235): aerotow launch to 2,500ft and typically about 15 minutes in the air, depending on both weather and the flight manoeuvres undertaken by the student pilot; 

• Deluxe ($325): higher aerotow launch to 4,000ft with up to 30 minutes in the air, offering more initial flight instruction and introductory experience. Flight duration is dependent upon both weather and the flight manoeuvres undertaken by the student pilot.

• Aviator Starter Pack ($625): three aerotows to 2,500ft, and your first three lessons in becoming a glider pilot. This is the best value package to see if gliding is the sport for you, without needing an annual membership.

You can purchase for yourself either through our online payment below, or by eftpos at the airfield on the day of your flight (please email canberragliding@gmail.com to book a time).

If purchasing online, an email will be sent to the club after payment and a voucher along with important information will be emailed out to you, or to a gift recipient, according to the details you enter at the time of purchase. 

NOTE: Flight duration is weather dependent. The above durations are indicative only.  When weather conditions permit, we will try to prolong your flight to the durations listed above, however sometimes there is no rising air for us to use.  Some flight training sequences may also reduce flight duration.
