Have you ever wanted to learn to fly but just couldn't find
the time at the weekends?
Then come to the Scottish Gliding Centre evening classes at Portmoak Airfield
near Kinross and join an evening course dedicated to teaching newcomers how to
fly a glider. The flying part of the course will occupy either one or two (your choice) evening per week from the beginning of April until the end of September and, depending on your aptitude, you might well be flying solo by then. Training is carried out in the Scottish Gliding Centre's modern, rugged, 2-seater, dual-control, high-performance gliders under the supervision of experienced British Gliding Association (BGA) qualified instructors, and follows the BGA's syllabus with the emphasis on flying. Instruction on flying theory, air law and navigation are fitted around this if there is a spell of poor weather, but every opportunity is taken to get into the air. The Scottish Gliding Centre is located very close to 2 extensive hill ridges which give soarable conditions in almost all weather conditions and of course depending on the time of year, thermal or wave activity is also possible. In previous years, the course has usually experienced at least one evening of wave conditions in which students have flown to 10,000 feet and been as far afield as Dundee and Montrose. |
