Intro Flight Details

  • Each flight will last 20 to 30 minutes duration, plus the time for setting up the passenger and bringing back the planes to the flightline.
  • We’ll try to be have the next passenger ready and at the flightline once the previous glider lands, making the operation efficient.
  • We strong believe that the experience must be positive to the passenger. Please let them know that they should feel free to let the pilot know if they are having fun or have concerns. We’ll adjust the flight to each passenger preferences/concerns.
  • Due to aircraft limitations maximum passenger weight is 230 Lbs. Very tall people sometimes have trouble fitting into the plane as well.
  • Passengers should dress comfortably, but no loose clothes, flip-flops, etc. to avoid items jamming the glider controls. By the way, the temperature on the cockpit is comfortable when flying but can be a bit hot when waiting for the take-off.
  • Regarding shoes, our club is a grass field.
  • We usually recommend hats to avoid sun/heat and sunglasses. 
  • Everyone is welcome to take pictures and/or record the flights. Our only request is to make sure the camera/phone is not loose on cockpit.

Release Form

  • Please ask everyone that wants to fly to review the Release form below and have it completed. They don’t need to print it, since I’ll have an electronic copy.
  • That will help us speed up the process. If someone don’t do it, we have paper releases at the club, but the electronic version will help us speed up the process.
