GLIDER HIRE
To accomodate overseas visiting pilots who cannot ship their glider
to Gariep, we have arranged that various private gliders be available
for hire. CLICK HERE
to view what is available.
A South African glider pilot licence validation will be arranged at
Gariep after a successful check flight and short test paper. You must
have a valid licence and medical from your home country, and this must
cover the type that you intend flying at Gariep. We cannot upgrade licences,
only validate existing ones. Visiting pilots must have done some gliding
in the last few months, and be current on type or similar. If they are
aerotowing, they will need to be rated on aerotow. We have strong conditions
in Gariep, and only adequately experienced and competent pilots will feel
comfortable. The check flight will help you to familiarise yourself with
the conditions and area. It is not a training flight. If the Chief Flying
Instructor feels that any pilot is not safe, competant or experienced
enough, he will not allow him to fly solo at Gariep. We therefore recommend
that visiting pilots prepare adequately in their home country before travelling
to Gariep.
