University Gliding

University gliding clubs offer students a fantastic start in gliding.  Usually based at the local gliding club, University clubs have excellent access to modern fleets of training aircraft and some of the larger university clubs even have their own gliders and instructors.

These clubs are often subsidised by the university and offer very good rates on flying to help cash-strapped students into the air.

Each year there is an inter-uni competition.  This week provides a focal point for all university glider pilots.  The competition rewards everything from going solo to doing a 500km racing task.  There are also some fantastic evenings after the flying has finished.
