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 $35.00. Retrieves are charged by time: $180/hr.

Glider Hire

All the club gliders are hired at a flat rate of $45.00 per hour (charged by the minute) free after four hours. Private gliders are not cross-hired. Bulk flying is $675.00 up front then $11.25/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 ($30 for a 9-day membership). Friends and family of club members pay club rates + $20.
