We will once again be running one or two Gliding Programs this year so that qualified participants may obtain their Transport Canada Glider Pilot license.

The 2010 courses offer a great many advantages

Low Cost – The York Program is financially supported by YOUTH FLIGHT CANADA and far less expensive than obtaining the license privately, and offers a fixed cost basis rather than paying per flight.

Students must however reach solo stage after 28 training flights. Additional flights will be charged at Clubrates.

1. •Comprehensive Program – York offers the students the opportunity to train on five standard Schweizer Gliders (SGS 2-33), as well a single seaters.
2. •Increased Flight Time – The York Program offers students the opportunity to learn thermalling and the chance of obtaining the C-badge for 1 hour sustained flight.
3. •Flexibility – The York programs are ideal for cadets who do not qualify for the six week CRGS program due to level requirements, or other reasons provided the cadet can obtain a Transport Canada Class 3 or 4 medical. Successful cadets may apply for the CRGS conversion course to obtain their wings and fly at the local Gliding Centeres.
4. •Supervision – Students are fully supervised at all times by participating parents or other adults.
5. •Shorter Duration – At two weeks,( Weather providing, 3 maximum ) the York Program enables the students the flexibility to maintain summer jobs, attend other air cadet camps, or go on summer vacation.
6. •Future Development – York Soaring does provide the students with the opportunity to qualify for Youth Flight Canada bursaries, can facilitate involvement with the national youth soaring team, and community involvement through the Freedom’s Wings program and can join York Soaring at a minimal fee to continue flying as a member.
