Welcome to Taupo Gliding Club
The airfield is a 3000ft grass runway at Centennial Park. It is leased from the Taupo District Council. The airfield is private and the club is responsible for all flying operations and maintenance.
Taupo has excellent conditions for gliding. High altitude, long distance and long duration flights are all possible from our airfield.
Our club offers 6 gliders for you to use. We have 2 two seaters, GGS- K13 , GME -Twin Astir, for instructional and sightseeing purposes and also 3 single seaters, GBD,GSD- PW5 , GML- Jantar Standard, which you move onto once you can fly solo. Our club operates with a tow plane only.
Our instructors are available to you all the time. They are happy to teach you the basics -from "how to stay up there" to the intricate "aerobatics".
Also we do a Solo in a week course to suit individual requirements .
Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays are official club days, the other days are by arrangement.
NOW 7 days a week... contact Club Manager Tom Anderson
