Flying Operations
Sailplanes and Towplane
GLGC has two Krosnos. These are two seat gliders (also called sailplanes) that have outstanding performance and offer exceptional visibility for both pilot and passenger on scenic flights.
Our tow plane is a Piper Pawnee, a powerful aircraft that has a proven record in the soaring community for towing all types of sailplanes.
In addition to the GLGC sailplanes and tow plane, there are a number of sailplanes owned by GLGC members on our field. These include high performance sailplanes. Visitors to our field have the chance to see up close the latest technology in the sport of soaring.
Instructors
GLGC’s instructors are licenced by Transport Canada as gliding instructors. In addition, our instructors have taken and passed the gliding instructors course offered by the Soaring Association of Canada.
Tow Plane Pilots
Our tow plane pilots are Transport Canada licenced pilots. Our roster of tow plane pilots includes GLGC members who are both licenced glider pilots and licenced power plane pilots.
