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.

provided by fully trained Gliding of Federation of Australia instructors.
All courses include aerotow

Students on the Solo Quest course receive a copy
of the Gliding Federation of Australia reference materials which includes Basic Gliding

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.
