Before you book

We look forward to welcoming you to Bidford and to experience a flight in a glider. Like all sports there are a few restrictions to consider for your safety and comfort..

• The maximum passenger weight limit is 102kg or 16 Stones . This may  be reduced further by the  combination of passenger and Instructors weight. We may ask you to be weighed when you arrive.

• You will be wearing a parachute and be able to fit comfortably in the glider seat with harness straps.

• Please wear comfortable clothes and footwear and consider a hat, sunglasses and sun cream for the likely weather conditions. It may be cool whilst waiting on the airfield.

• There are no specific medical requirements for you to undertake the flight. However, you must bring to the instructor’s attention any medical condition that could cause an adverse effect during flight.

• If you wish to take photos or film, a camera or mobile phone must have a safety wrist or neck strap.
