How Long Do Glider Flights Last?

You can expect glider flights to last around 5–10 minutes for a beginner lesson, aerotow glider flights to last approximately 15–20 minutes and motorised glider flights to be about 25–30 minutes.

Where to Sit in the Glider

Training gliders are two-seater tandems. The passenger will take the seat at the front whilst the seat at the back will be occupied by the pilot instructor. In some motorised gliders, there will be a side-by-side configuration.
