Our flying season is best from September through to April but some
days are better than others. We prefer days when there is a light
breeze and there are fluffy cumulus clouds around since they
indicate the presence of up draughts (thermals) that can allow us
to climb up.
We normally operate on weekends and public holidays, but can also
offer flights mid week by arrangement. All flights are subject to
the availability of suitable weather conditions, gliders and
instructors. Generally the best time to fly is between 12:00
midday and around 3:00 pm although you can get good flights
outside these times depending on the weather.
For Air Experience flights the cost is $70 plus $2.00 per
minute. Depending on the availability of up draughts to keep the
glider up, our usual fight is around 30 min, but we can stay up
for longer if our passenger wishes to do so and weather conditions
are suitable. Without updraughts the flight time is around 8 min.
If you want to take a motor glider flight, the cost is $80 plus
$2.50 per minute of flight time. The motor gliders are
not dependent on updraughts to get a long flight.
We can also offer Gift certificates for $130. This is for a 30 min
Glider flight (or 2 flights if there are no thermals to keep us
up). If required, and a motor glider is available, this may be
changed to a motor glider flight
on the day you fly. We can email the
Gift Certificate to you to print on your high quality colour
printer or post it to you for a printing and postage fee of
$5.00 if you supply your postal address. If a longer flight is
required, time beyond 30 min costs $2 per min for the glider gift
certificate and $2.50 per min for the motor glider. Any extra time can be paid after the completion of
the flight.
Unfortunately, being a small club, we do not have credit card
facilities. If you want a Gift Certificate please
contact us
by email or phone (0418 377 146 or 0417 565 514) and then deposit
the funds into our bank account, details of which will be
advised when you contact us.
Please add your name to any deposit
notification and advise by email that you have processed the
transfer.
