If you stay in Greece for a short time and you want to fly with us, the easiest way is to go to the KOPAIS field. There you can fly with one of our English speaking instructors, (50 € per flight) and enjoy the sport of flying together with the eagles and seagulls..

Contact our office to arrange for your flight at Kopais field, and our secretary will address you to the respective instructor to contact for the exact rendezvous day-time-meeting point.

If your are a licensed glider pilot and you stay in Greece for some time, you may want to become a member of our club.

In that case you have to visit our town offices, bring with you 3 small size photos, sign all appropriate forms and we will issue your member card on the spot. This member card is also your entrance permit in to the airport of TATOI (our main base). The total cost (entry-subscription fee and one year membership fee) is 80 €.

Before we let you solo with the two seaters, you have to fly some check flights (€ 35 per flight) with one of our English speaking instructors, to make you familiar with the local flying conditions and the club's operational procedures. There is not any reservation system, and the rule is that students fly first, but there is always plenty of time for the newcomers. After some (8-10) solo flights with the two seaters you can start flying local flights with the Ka-6 and later on with the rest of our performance single seaters. You pay only for the tow (35 €). There is not any reservation system, for the single seaters the rule is first come first fly. There is no time limit for solo flying if it's done in a single seater, but keep well in mind that, all flights with the club's gliders must be strictly within gliding distance of the airport.

If you are short on time you can fly from TATOI. We fly from there all year around (weather permitting), and the access to the site by car or train is rather easy, if you follow the instructions. You need your Passport besides your Club I.D. card, since TATOI is a Greek Airforce (training) Base.

In the other hand, if you don’t mind the 45 min travel, the KOPAIS field (our athletic base) is an ideal place to fly from.

There we fly from mid-spring to mid-autumn. The weather is really good and there are some nice places to check around whereas you prefer the seaside or mountain sites such as Parnassos.

Contact our office to arrange for your flight at Tatoi or Kopais field, and our secretary will address you to the respective instructor to contact for the exact rendezvous day-time-meeting point.

If you are interested to become a licensed glider pilot in Greece you must join a Gliding Club with a HCAA approved ground and flight school. Such club is the Athens Gliding Club.

After you join the club's school, you are trained in our two-seat gliders by the club's instructors (6 or 7 of them can instruct you in English), and you have to follow a two months ground school organized also by the Club once a year. Your real problem though, will be with the Greek CAA, which, as far as we know, does not provide for other languages except Greek, in their exams. So it will be a problem for them, to issue you a student's license (which you need to go "solo"). In any case, if you are really determinant, you can try at the Athens Main Office of the CAA, tel no 0108947117 or 0108916000, where you ask for the Training and License Department. They should be able to answer the above questions.

If everything is settled and you finish your ground school at our club, you will take the written exams at HCAA. After you 1st solo (at about 40-50 flights, weather permitting), you have to fly 20 solo flights in order to fly with a HCAA examiner. When you pass these exams you are issued by the HCAA a Private Glider Pilot license and with that you can fly with the Clubs sailplanes or with your own and carry a passenger without payment.

Total cost of all the above training is about € 1,800-2,000€ all cost included.
