Training takes place, weather permitting, from dawn till dusk. There are instructors on duty on Saturdays, Sundays, most Wednesdays and Fridays, and on Bank Holidays. All training from "ab initio" (pre-solo) onwards follows a thorough syllabus approved by the British Gliding Association. The syllabus is constantly being updated, to ensure the most modern methods are used, and safety is always paramount. A typical club member will progress from their initial trial lesson through to solo in an average of 70 or so winch launches. The time taken to fly solo tends to be measured in number of launches rather than hours in the air, but other factors such as age, frequency of flights, and the student pilot's natural ability will affect the number of flights required. ESGC operates a "fixed priced gliding" deal to limit the cost of achieving solo flight... The Essex and Suffolk Gliding Club was established in the late 1950s. It has had several sites during its life and moved to Wormingford in..
