Launch Fees

Aerotow only. Launches are charged on height. The scale is non-linear, to make it relatively cheaper under 1500ft or over 5000ft. As a guide, a tow to 2000ft costs $28.65. Retrieves are charged by time: $330/hr.

Glider Hire

All the club gliders are hired at a flat rate of 65 cents per minute ($39 per hour) free after four hours. Private gliders are not cross-hired. Bulk flying is $585 up front then $9.75/hr for unlimited hours, also capped at 4 hours per flight.

Visiting pilots from other clubs pay the same flying fees as members. Overseas pilots must join the GFA = as little as $10 for a 3-day membership. Friends and family of club members pay club rates + $10.

Instruction is free - you only pay for the launch and glider hire.
