Welcome to the exciting sport of gliding. It is without doubt the most peaceful, affordable, and quietest form of aviation – forever challenging, but also extremely satisfying and rewarding.
We are lucky that in Australia, the weather is good enough that one can learn to fly all year round. However, in summer South Australia and the Northern Territory offer some of the best soaring weather in the country!
There is a variety of clubs in South Australia, and the Northern Territory – all of which can offer Air Experience Flights right up to Solo flying and beyond.
If you are looking to learn to fly in SA or the NT, check out the Clubs page to find and contact your nearest club. The Gliding Australia website is also an excellent resource for newcomers.
If you are already a pilot, you will find relevant events & documents here applicable to flying in SA & NT.
Acknowledgement of Country
We, the South Australian Gliding Association, acknowledge that we operate from and glide over the traditional lands of Aboriginal peoples across South Australia and the Northern Territory. We recognise their spiritual relationship with Country and honour their cultural heritage, beliefs, and continuing connections to land, waters, and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
