Reopening Gliding Clubs
Gliding is a sport that lends itself to social distancing.
With current procedures flying gliders, particularly flying solo can be easily achieved.
Only three people are required to launch a glider; the pilot flying, the wing tip holder and aerotow pilot or winch driver. All can maintain social distancing. We have five vibrant and active gliding clubs in Scotland
People are out in the fresh air, socializing (whilst maintaining social distancing) and engaging in activities which brings a sense of well being.

Why the contribution is important
Unless flying operations resume the future viability of our gliding clubs in Scotland is under threat.
Scotland has gliding sites of European and some would say, world class status.
Scottish soaring conditions attract many visitors which has, in the past and looking to the future, promote the attraction of Scotland as a place to live and work.
It is part of the fabric that makes Scotland what it is.
