Description of Wolds Gliding Club
Licence Nº not provided
The basic operation of a glider ithe same as any other aircraft. Lift is created by the wings as they move through the air. The big differance is that the pure glider has no engine, and so it relies on natural forces in the air to stay aloft.
Because gliders have no power of their own, they must be launched into the air using some other means. This is usually a tow behind a powered aircraft (tug) or by a winch.
Using natural forces, or energy, that creates rising air (lift), gliders can stay in the air for many hours at a time and cover long distances.
It can't be seen of course, but there are indications as to where lift might exist, such as land features and clouds, and it is these that the glider pilot looks out for.
We’re a friendly club who specialise in training.
