Welcome to the Safety Centre. The goals of this centre are to:

* Increase pilot awareness of gliding safety issues.
* Disseminate training information and material.
* Improve the safety performance of gliding.

Flying gliders is a life-long learning activity. The aim of the Safety Centre is to provide the pilot (student to instructor) with access to material that encourages this behaviour. The nature of our sport means that safety bulletins, notices, and regulatory changes occur on a regular basis. This Centre provides pilots with access to important safety material.

Accident and Incident Reporting

The Club believes in a "no blame" policy of incident/accident investigation so that all contributing causes of an occurrence can be identified and rectified. In all cases it is the WHY that is important and not the WHO.
