DSGC Bookable Training

The plan is to have two bookable training slots each Saturday and each Sunday during March to see how things go. Members will be able to book these slots online via the website. You will be able to book just one slot, i.e. one Saturday or Sunday or up to 2 consecutive slots, depending on what you need to do.  For example if you just need to cover the spinning exercises you may want to just book one slot, but if you want consolidation or additional training to complete your bronze badge or to finish off your solo training you may want to book 4 consecutive slots.

One instructor and glider will be dedicated to the bookable slots on each day. This will ensure continuity and help the instructor to tailor the training to help you achieve what you want to do.  Ideally we would like to have the slots on each day filled by people who are at roughly the same stage of training. This will help the instructor and also help the trainee, as you will both be working to similar goals.

If you book a slot you need to be able to commit to it. This means turning up regardless of what the weather is doing.  If the weather makes it unflyable your instructor will be able to provide ground briefings on what you need as well as using the club’s flight simulator.

The training slots start at 09:00 and will finish around 16:00 each weekend day.
