Learn to Fly with Piako Gliding Club!
Trial Flights are a first time flight in a two-seat glider with an instructor. They are designed to introduce you to the magic of soaring. Many people go on from their first Trial Flight to take up the sport of gliding...
We offer three versions of Trial Flight. In each one you will taken through the controls and instruments before taking off, and then the glider will be towed aloft behind the tow plane. During the entire flight you will be able to speak with your instructor.
Prices
We offer three Trial Flights based on the height at which you release from tow. Times given are approximate and are based on the weather conditions.
Note, max weight is 110Kg due to weight and balance limits of the gliders.
Pay for flights on the day of the flight (EFTPOS or cash), or order a gift voucher to be posted to you below.
Postage Details
The voucher will be posted to the address given, in an unmarked envelope.
Vouchers are normally posted once per week.
If you need the voucher urgently add a note to the order and we will reply to let you know when it will be on its way.
Pickup is also available in Hamilton (Matangi), ph Jill 027 2721190
