We do have restrictions for height and we may struggle to fit you in the glider if you are over 6 ' 4'' (1.93 meters), but it depends on the type of gliders available on the day. We also have limitations on weight, with a maximum of around 16 stone 6lbs (103 Kg). The visitor will need to be fit enough to get into and out of the glider with minimum help. There is no upper age limit but the younger visitors must be with a guardian able to sign a legal disclaimer and the visitor must have the maturity to gain from the trial lesson and be able to reach the controls. 12 years old would be the youngest we could fly. If you have any concerns, please contact us before you visit so that we can clarify any issues. All flights offered are with qualified instructors. Please call us on 07712 467401 when you arrive at the airfield clubhouse. One of our club members will then come and collect you and safely escort you to the launch point. The runways will be live, and we have rules about cars travelling on runways to protect gliders from taking off and landing. Please note: when booking your voucher flights on 07793 369279, the office is open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00.
