Glider Flights

Flight operations will begin at 0800 and continue until sunset.  Based on length of travel, if your group needs to arrive a little later or leave a little earlier, please be in communication, but understand that weather delays are common with glider flights, so flexibility is key.

Please bring sunscreen, water, and a sack lunch or $5 for pizza.  There are also nearby restaurants.

Plan to have 3 slots with a possible 4^th as an alternate.  There are times that we have last minute drops so it's always good to have that 4^th prepared.  The 4^th cadet is welcome to attend, just with the understanding that their flight is based on space available.  Please prioritize cadets without glider or any orientation flights and those turning 18 soon. 

All attendees who will be on the flightline (including any senior members who want to assist) will need to complete Aircraft Ground Handling and Wing Runner Course.  Weight limit for glider flights is 210 lbs.

Required forms for cadets are CAPF 60-80 permission form, CAPF 161 Emergency Contact form.

Uniform for glider flights is solid-colored athletic shorts or pants (preferably black) and sand ABU shirt or squadron shirt if your squadron has shirts.  Cadets can bring a solid-colored sweatshirt/hoodie if needed based on forecasted temps.  Socks and closed toe athletic shoes are required.  No boots.

We will also be having a workday at the same time to sort and put away some of the uniform supply that needs to be organized.  Feel free to bring as many members as would like to help and they will be able to rotate between helping with gliders if their flightline courses are complete and helping with the supply room.
