Motor Gliding Swindon

Motor Gliding Swindon

This is gliding near Swindon - but with a difference. You've got power! There's no tug plane and no winch either because in motor gliding you get airborne under the aircraft's own power. Then when you're high enough the engine can be turned off and you'll glide elegantly and silently. Motor gliders are just that - gliders that have an engine and propellor. This means motor gliders self-launch out of this airfield just outside Swindon. Rather than being released at a certain altitude you simply fly up to the height you want to achieve switch off the engine and get soaring. This is a brilliant moment in the experience as you change from manmade to natural with just the swirling noise of the wind that carries you. And once you're up there what can you expect to see? Well this is another reason why this airfield at Sandhill Farm is a popular place. When you're soaring in your motor glider you are literally minutes away from the North Wessex Downs with the likes of the Vale of White Horse and Dragon hill just beyond. It's so refreshing to see the best of the county from the air. You get to look down on any traffic jams (rather than be in them for once) whilst you glide gracefully at a few thousand feet above the towns and villages below. Unlike most standard gliders a motor version has a side-by-side cockpit so when you go gliding out of this friendly airfield near Swindon you will be sitting next to your instructor. This gives you the advantage of being able to see everything that the pilot is doing which we think helps you feel more secure comfortable and at ease. We are offering 30 and 60-minute motorised glider experiences out of Sandhill Farm near Swindon. And don't forget if you fancy having a go at the controls for yourself you can do as these aircraft are dual control.
