Have you ever seen a glider overhead, and wondered what it would be like to fly in one? Well at Middle Wallop you can, so why not come along and have a go? We offer trial flights most Saturdays and Sundays (weather permitting).

At PNGC we take pride in offering the best Introductory flight around. Not only do we have a dedicated team of Instructors to give you your first experience of gliding, but we also have an efficient booking service and timed lessons, so you don’t have to hang round the airfield in the hope that we can fit you in. Our prices are very reasonable and if the smiles on the faces at the end of the flights are anything to go by, we offer very good value for money. A trial introductory Glider flight costs £120. (February 2023). If you’re in the Services, then give us a call for a special Services price.

Many people have an introductory flight as a birthday present, or to celebrate a special occasion and a few take the plunge to join the club after their flight, to become full time members of the gliding club and ultimately become solo glider pilots.

• Air Tow          Your glider will be towed up into the air to 2,500 feet by a power aircraft called a tug, with a flight time of about 20 minutes. The instructor will demonstrate the controls to you and allow you to take control and fly the glider. At 2,500 ft the views are amazing and you can see right down to the Southampton water and if you are lucky you will also see Portsmouth and the Spinnaker tower. To the North is Thruxton race track and to the North East is Andover.

Because we allocate a glider and an instructor and a time slot, a trial lessons needs to be booked in advance.

We try very hard to keep to our agreed time for your flight, but obviously poor weather or operational difficulties on the airfield can delay things.

If you would like more information before booking an introductory flight then please email the booking coordinator at flightbookings@pngc.co.uk or call the Booking Coordinator on 07403 805 805.
