Visiting Pilots
Visitors from other gliding clubs are welcome to fly with us. Please remember to bring your log book, medical (if solo) and SPL (if you have one).
If you are thinking about coming for a few days then ask about the on-site caravans and camping or about the local pubs. We have no spare hangarage but we do offer a large grass area for rigging, de-rigging and overnight picketing. Launching is by winch or aerotow. Flying is in the main soaring over lovely countryside and there is very occasional wave. Long cross country flights are quite feasible.
The Duty Instructor holds a daily briefing at 09.00 each flying day. Obviously you will want to help out at the launch point when not flying, and to become a part of our safety culture.
The section of our operations manual can be viewed here.
If you are intending to visit us as a reciprocal member please contact the office in advance to arrange for a flying account account to be opened for you. Currently, members of Camphill, Crowland, Darlton, Husbands Bosworth and Kirton in Lindsey are exempt from reciprocal charges.
