Gliding Australia Magazine There is a video that precedes this one, hopefully it gets approved to be shared. that aside, today i was fighting my brain all morning and then drove more t. Gliding australia’s 2025–2027 strategic plan outlines how we’re building a safer, more inclusive, and innovative future for the sport of gliding. gliding is a very sociable, challenging and fun sport. australia has a great group of female pilots and have plenty of support options for women just starting out to top level pilots.
Gliding Australia Gliding Australia Gliding is an all inclusive and very social sport attracting men and woman of all ages and walks of life. in australia you can fly solo from the age of 15 and some pilots continue gliding into their eighties. it is never too late to learn to glide and many pilots take up the sport in their 40s, 50s or even 70s. Australian gliding knowledge covers just about everything including the many safety factors to consider, the different ways of launching gliders and their respective piloting techniques, the rules of the air, basic glider aerodynamics and design features, circuit planning, landing techniques, cross country navigation and gliding meteorology. In the absence of thermals, which gliders use to stay in the air, an average flight to 3000ft will last approximately 20 minutes. when learning to fly, you will be taught how to find & stay in thermals, and a thermalling flight is much longer. what happens when the wind stops? nothing! gliders are not dependent upon the wind to stay aloft. There is no mandatory upper age limit for flying a glider. to fly cross country, you must have achieved a rating (c certificate) which includes tests for outlandings and retrieves. i don’t know if gliding is just for me. how can i have a test flight? trial flights are officially called ‘air experience flights.’.

You can fly though a number of thermals without stopping to thermal, just absorbing energy as you pass through rising air. your aim is to stay in the top height band and only climb in the strongest thermals. Keep that in mind when you fly and try not to get frustrated! you’ll then get an opportunity to practice thermal entry. try to feel what the air is doing – you’ll have. What expectations might you have when you next fly? what level of risk, what types of risks, might you be unwittingly accepting? to what extent might you have complacency filters operating? so, you make plans for your next flight. you expect it will go well. in fact, you are sure that you would not even take off if there were undue risks.
