Gliding.... waste of time or good news??
As a fellow wannabe, I would like to share my fantastic experiences of GLIDING... yes no engine!!!!!
I feel that this form of aviation has long been overlooked as a serious flying activity.
Having been a regular glider pilot for over 4 years, I would like to sound the horn on this sport as an excellent way to work on your manual flying skills. Indeed I would say that gliding has improved MY powered flying three fold.
Its real cheap... average £4/flight, making it a really good way to stay airborne if like me you are broke!!!!
I would be interested to hear what the other PPRUNEers had to say on this subject.... do you think gliding is an old mans sport or is making a useful contribution to flying in general???
Answers on a reply!!!
