The Southern Cross Gliding Club is a not for profit organisation, relying of the volunteer nature of its members. None of our instructors are paid - meaning at no time will you be charged for instructors time. This also means that when you become a full member of the club, you can rest assured knowing that you are only paying what is required to keep the club operational.
Can anybody fly?
All aircraft must operate within weight and balance limits for maximum safety. We will assess each person's suitability to fly in our aircraft. We may, in our discretion, decline to fly individuals for operational or safety reasons.
As a guide, a glider passenger or pilot needs to be:
- In general good health. If you have suffered from epilepsy, fits, severe head injury, recurrent fainting, giddiness, blackouts, abnormally high blood pressure or previous heart disease or are taking insulin for the control of diabetes, a medical certificate from a suitably qualified doctor stating you are fit to fly will be needed prior to take-off.
- At least 12 years old - younger children may get distressed when flying, especially without a familiar adult present.
- Weight not exceeding 100 kg. While certain of our gliders can carry passengers up to 110kg, a lighter instructor is required as pilot in command. If you are in this weight range, please call us well in advance and we will try to accommodate you.
