Indulge In The Excitement Of Gliding Over Devon With This Distinctive And Exhilarating Flying Experience

Scenic Flights Experience Days: Soar above Devon's breath-taking landscapes with this Devon Gliding Experience, a unique adventure that combines power and tranquillity.

Climb to 1 mile above sea level with a 80hp Rotax engine, then gracefully transform into a glider as you reduce power. Enjoy 15-20 minutes of engineless flight with a remarkable 24 to 1 glide ratio. If you're lucky, you might even ride thermal currents alongside birds. Experience the serenity of gliding through the sky, with only the whisper of wind in your ears and panoramic views of Devon's countryside below. Prepare for your adventure with a pre-flight briefing, and if you're interested, opt for flying instruction to take control under an experienced instructor's guidance. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to connect with nature and feel true freedom.

Whether you seek thrills or simply want to savour the skies, this Devon Gliding Experience makes a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one.

Gliding Experience in Devon

Take off and climb away using our 80hp Rotax engine and upon reaching 1 mile above sea level we will slowly reduce power and allow the engine to gently cool down. After about a minute of cooling we will stop the engine completely and become a proper glider with a glide ratio of 24 to 1. This should give us 15-20 minutes of silent engineless flight or more if we can find some thermals and go soaring with the birds.
