Gliding Experience in Devon
Totally unique experience offered with this trip. Take off and climb away using our 80hp Rotax engine and upon reaching 1 mile above sea level we will slowly reduce power and allow the engine to gently cool down. After about a minute of cooling we will stop the engine completely and become a proper glider with a glide ratio of 24 to 1. This should give us 15-20 minutes of silent engineless flight or more if we can find some thermals and go soaring with the birds.

Summary:
The weather caused a few problems but patience paid off for a clear day and good weather conditions.
Everything was well explained to me about the plane following standard procedures. The pilot was very experienced creating a secure and pleasant environment. Once in the air we traveled towards the coast. I was then offered to opportunity to take control with guidance. This was an amazing experience keeping the plane altitude constant using the horizon. Then doing a figure of eight before the pilot took over for the landing.
