The Association has a history of producing pilots at the very highest levels of this exciting sport and has even produced a triple world champion. However, the emphasis lies firmly with training the uninitiated and introducing servicing personnel, civilian MOD employees and their families to this safe but exhilarating aviation sport.
The RAFGSA Centre is the focal point for gliding activity within the Association and employs full-time personnel who are authorised to conduct the Joint Service Adventurous Training Scheme. There are currently 12 regional gliding clubs, including the Centre, located at or near RAF stations. Each club has an excellent range of aircraft including tandem two-seaters and an assortment of single seat gliders, catering for all standards from the early solo pilot to the advanced cross-country exponent.
