Training News

DDSC currently has spare training capacity for weekend courses for pre-solo, basic and advanced cross training, and GlideFast Advanced Coaching. The weather is generally good for cross country training until mid winter, and basic training conditions all year round.

Contact President Pam Kurstjens for more details.

Gliding is an inexpensive way to learn to fly and all our instructors are qualified and experienced cross country pilots.

Gliding is the most challenging of all aviation sports, involving skill, determination, discipline and tactics.
