Gliding is an exiting and rewarding support
for people of all age groups and requires no great physical strength so
is equally available to everyone. Provided you are reasonably fit, no
medical certificate is required. There are no great physical
requirements and people with a variety of disabilities have found it
possible to take up gliding. Whether you come alone or with a friend, as
a couple or as a group, the team spirit which is gliding will ensure
that you quickly make friends and have tremendous fun.
It is an advantage to start young and, although the minimum age for
going solo is 16, younger members are welcome. There is no maximum age
and many members have started gliding after retirement and have gone
onto become successful solo pilots. There are some basic medical requirements to fly solo but most don't
apply when you're flying with an instructor. If you have any concerns
due to a medical condition or disability we do ask that you let us know
beforehand so we can advise you of any possible problems.
