Sailplane glider soaring in clear sky
Gliding

Soar without an engine.

Gliding teaches young pilots to read the sky, harness thermals and master the art of unpowered flight. From introductory flights to cross-country soaring and competition gliding, it is one of the most rewarding disciplines in aviation.

Why air sports

More than flying.

Air sports develop skills that last a lifetime — engineering thinking, spatial awareness, discipline, resilience and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

Navi Aero Sports Club is an independent organisation. We work with qualified operators and approved sites for all manned flight activities.
