Trial Lessons at RSGC
A trip in a glider should be on everyone’s bucket list. At RSGC we provide trial lessons for anyone that wants to tick this off their list. Those in the service community can also join RSGC as a member to take their experience to the next level
Find out below how you can join us to fly a glider at the impressive airfield of RAF Shawbury, home of the tri-Service No. 1 Flying Training School
We look forward to seeing you on the airfield soon!
Service, ex‑service and MOD personnel, and their dependents
At RSGC we provide the service community with challenging and exciting sport and adventurous training at an affordable cost
If you’re a member of the service community, from any of the armed forces or based at any military site (including RAF Cosford and MOD units), please contact us directly for more information on trial lessons
Civilians
If you’re not part of the service community we would still love to fly with you. Vouchers for trial lessons at RSGC make the perfect gift for a friend or family member, or treat for yourself!
For more information and to buy a voucher please visit gliding.co.uk/buy-voucher. Once you have purchased a voucher from the BGA contact us to book your trial lesson
Important Notes
We welcome people of any age to fly with us as long as they are able to get into and out of a glider. Please note that, due to the structural limitations of our gliders, we are not able to fly anyone weighing over 16 stone (102 kg) or over 6’ 3″ (1.9 m) tall
For anyone under 16 years old we require a signature of consent from a parent or legal guardian on our membership form
You will not be able to fly if there are any concerns about your fitness to fly. If you have any questions please contact us for more information
