Tours
Description
Byron Bay Gliding is the main gliding club in northern NSW with more than 500 joy flights and 2000 Flights in 2008.
Description
We currently operate a fleet of four self launching gliders, amongst them the ASK 21 MI.
The ASK 21 MI has been purchased in 2006, brand new! It's the latest technology available.
We offer joy flights as well as introductory and full courses for those wanting to learn to fly. Our friendly professional instructors will introduce you to the wonders and exhileration of the sport of soaring.
They have been flying the local ridges, thermals and waves for thousands of hours and will give you the best and safest possible experience.
All our instructors are certified through the Gliding Federation of Australia. They have a wealth of local knowledge and will give you the best, safest, and most enjoyable flight and training.
We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest safety standards and the excellent quality of the glider fleet, which currently consists of two Motorfalkes, a RF 5 and the well renowned DG 500 M, and the ASK 21 MI. The DG and the ASK are the only such gliders available for joy flights in Australia. ASK 21 MI: fully aerobatic! quiet and gentle or able to turn your world upside down!
No matter what aircraft or flight you choose, we are certain that a glimpse into the sport of gliding will give you a new understanding of the skies.
Our hope is that all of our passengers and students will want to continue their soaring adventures for as long as the skies are open to having them.
The Byron Bay Gliding team looks forward to sharing our passion with you.
