Training

Gliding Australia offers training to get you solo and then to your Glider Pilot Certificate. It includes some theory and practical aspect all lead by qualified instructors at your local club.   

Medical Requirements

In order to fly a glider, you must have a certain level of medical fitness, and you will be asked to say what that status is. There are three options:

• Hold a valid CASA Medical Certificate;
• Be assessed by a GP against the medical standards for the issue of a private motor vehicle driver’s licence; or
• Complete a self-declaration that you are fit to fly a glider

A Medical Declaration Form – Pilot can be found in the Operations Forms section of the Document Library.  A Medical Practitioner’s Certificate can be found in the Operations Forms section of the Document Library by clicking the link.

One of the first two options is necessary if you are an Instructor, a Charter pilot, or suffer from certain medical conditions listed in Section 3.2.2(d) of the Gliding Australia Operational Regulations. Please note that you MUST provide the Gliding Australia with a copy of your medical documents – this can be done either by uploading the scanned documents using the File Upload button in the online renewal form, or by emailing the documents to returns@glidingaustralia.org.

Members who are under 18 years MUST have medical documents signed by a parent or guardian.

While filling in the membership form you will be able to purchase your membership securely online.
