Dear Gliding Enthusiasts across New Zealand,
With summer on the horizon, we are excited to extend a special invitation to all gliding club members across New Zealand for our upcoming summer training sessions. Papawai and Omarama are not just about gliding; it's about embracing the sport, refining skills, and building a community that thrives on the thrill of soaring.
Why Choose A Summer Training course?
Consolidated Training: Experience shows that immersive, week-long sessions offer a deeper learning curve compared to occasional flights.
Expertly Tailored Programs: Our courses are designed to cater to diverse needs, ensuring focused attention with a 2:1 student-instructor ratio.
Past Success: Many of our previous attendees are now meticulously planning their paddock landings for this summer. This could be you next year!
Time off work: schedule your time off work months in advance ensuring you fully immerse yourself in the training without any work-related distractions.
Weather Independent Learning: irrespective of the weather. On days when flying conditions aren't optimal, we ensure the learning doesn't stop. You can engage in insightful lectures from our seasoned instructors.
Papawai and Omarama: Diverse Training Opportunities:
Both Papawai and Omarama offer Intensive Training courses tailored to individual needs, accommodating a diverse mix of students with varying goals in the same courses for a personalized learning experience.
