Gliding in Byron Bay |
 |
With its fleet of
motor gliders, Byron Bay Gliding Club offers joyflights, trial instructional
flights and courses designed to take the new pilot to solo stage in the
shortest possible time.
| Self-launching motorgliders
embody the advantages of power aircraft combined with the inherent safety
of sailplanes, and regularly soar above the historic Byron Bay Lighthouse
and along the rugged ridges of Mt Warning. Each year pilots from the club
undertake the long flight to the Gulf of Carpentaria to soar the amazing
Joyflights Byron Bay has some of the most beautiful scenery in Australia. Our experienced instructors can take you on the flight of a lifetime along the superb beaches and across the bay to the lighthouse, and up along the famous Coolamon Ridge and over to spectacular Mt Warning to view the immense caldera of the ancient volcano. The aircraft used for these flights have a superb safety record, and are without doubt some the best motorised gliders flying in Australia. The club has a variety of aircraft available including Motor Falke, Grob and Dimona and there are both training aircraft and high-performance cross-country machines. |
