Royal Navy Gliding
We provide all the facilities and training you need for gliding, whether you have never left the ground before or you have hours of soaring experience flying cross-country for many hundreds of kilometres.
Beginners will fly with an instructor as they learn to fly and make progress to flying solo. As pilots progress, achievements are rewarded through the British Gliding Association’s (BGA) Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond Badges. The real reward is the achievement of flying free though.
With expeditions often taking place, within the RN and across all armed services, we also field a team at the annual Inter-Services Championship with BGA silver badge pilots entitled to enter gliding competitions.
