Existing holders of *Premium* First Flight Vouchers:

To help clear the backlog caused by the pandemic, we are offering holders of Premium First Flight Vouchers the opportunity of redeeming their voucher with a 30-minute flight in our motor glider. There is currently a much shorter waiting list for these flights. Please enquire with an email to office@midlandgliding.club

Due to the flight limitations of our gliders, there is a weight limit of 16 stones (102 kilos) and a height limit of 6’3″ (1.9m). There is no upper age limit but you must be able to get into and out of the glider. There is no minimum age to fly P2 in a glider and you can legally solo at 14 years.  If you are under 16 years old we will require a parental consent form to be signed. If in doubt please contact the office for advice.

All flying is subject to the availability of aircraft, launch equipment, instructors and the weather. We offer no guarantee to be able to fly on any particular day even if previously booked, but we will always do our best to get you into the air.
