If you've ever dreamed of learning to fly, then gliding is the sport for you. Not only is gliding one of the more affordable forms of sports aviation, it is one of the most challenging. So come and learn to soar with the eagles at the Darling Downs Soaring Club.

We conduct a range of courses using sleek modern fibreglass two seat gliders and instruction is provided by fully trained Gliding of Federation of Australia instructors.

All courses include aerotow launches, glider hire and free instruction.

A Flying Start - A great way to experience the sport of gliding. The one day course includes 3 flights and is available from $220*.

The Weekender - Looking for something a little different to do on the weekend? The Weekender includes 7 flights over two days and is available from $500*.

Solo Quest - The course includes 32 flights plus reference materials and accommodation over 6 days (consecutive three / six weekends). Learn at your own pace. Available every weekend.  Solo Quest courses are available from $1700 ($1350 for students)*. 

Students on the Solo Quest course receive a copy of the Gliding Federation of Australia reference materials which includes Basic Gliding Knowledge Handbook, Radio Procedures Handbook, Rules of the Air, and a Glider Pilot Log Book.

The Solo Quest course is designed to train students towards achieving solo flight by the end of the course. This will depend on several factors, for example, the weather, your personal aptitude and previous flying experience. For these reasons solo flight can not be guaranteed at the end of the course.
